We've done the planning groundwork! Give your team a clear path forward.
This is an owner/manager SOP for your team to adapt, with the companion Quick-Reference Card included.
When a storm approaches, every unanswered question lands somewhere — usually on you. Which visits can change? Who needs priority care? What should staff tell clients? When is it time to stop service?
You shouldn't have to write policies, draft messages, and coordinate backup care while conditions are getting worse.
Beyond Bark's General Storm SOP gives you a prepared framework, premade communication scripts, and the field card your team carries into every one of six hazards — so you can spend less time starting from scratch and more time leading your team.
The difficult questions are already built in.
This resource helps you prepare for details that are easy to overlook: roads outside your service area that affect travel, clients who cannot return home, animals needing timed medication, failed camera monitoring, and backup caregivers who haven't confirmed responsibility.
Inside, you'll find:
Premade client messages for monitoring, preparation, service changes, suspension and recovery — with separate wording for your full client list, scheduled clients, and clients with specific care needs.
Clear staff communication guidance so managers can explain assignments, restrictions, and next steps consistently.
A staff-readiness checklist to help you confirm preparation before anyone begins a route.
Weather-specific procedures covering snow, hurricanes, wind, flooding, smoke, heat, and cold.
Decision points and backup-care planning to help your team recognize when the plan needs to change.
The Storm Season Quick-Reference Card — a fast-scan field card covering all six hazards: what to watch for, the automatic stop trigger, and what it takes to resume service. Built right into this download, not sold separately.
Built around Spot It. Say It. Shift It., this SOP helps turn decisions that live in your head into a process your managers and team can follow — supporting safer, more consistent care as your business grows.
The structure, scenarios, and sample wording are already developed. Add your company's contacts, local safety thresholds, and service policies to make the plan your own.
