Extreme weather events occur all year-round in New Mexico, posing persistent challenges for businesses, schools, public entities and communities. Even if your policy is mid-term, now is the time to review your risk management strategy with your broker—and ensure it covers ALL weather-related risks. For winter storms in particular, heavy snow can create serious hazards for roofs and heavily trafficked walkways. To stay safe, always hire an experienced professional for snow removal on large surfaces, especially roofs. If needed, establish a year-round contract with snow removal professionals to avoid delays in service and to have your property cleared promptly during and after a storm. https://lnkd.in/gu32Kff8
