Homeowners struggle to prepare homes for hurricanes and storms quickly before impact

Homeowners in hurricane-prone regions face time pressure to secure their properties before storms arrive, but manual storm preparation (boarding windows, securing outdoor items) is labor-intensive and often incomplete. Current solutions like plywood boarding are slow to install, require advance planning, and leave homes vulnerable if preparation isn't done in time. Accordion shutters promise faster deployment, but homeowners are uncertain if they actually deliver on ease-of-use and reliability when storms are imminent.
