Emergency Management

Information for multifamily professionals on what steps to take in case of the worst.

Since the Bay Area has two storms so close in proximity, we have combined our Resources page to address both Helene and Milton concerns. We sincerely hope that everyone is safe this week!

HELENE: Please use the button below to contact us if you have residents needing accommodation or if you have available units for those in need of housing (including short term- under 30 days). Information on available units will be shared with fellow BAAA members who suffered damage, and with local municipalities seeking to house displaced people.

In response to the needs of our community, we have compiled a Hurricane Housing List. This resource is a compilation of information provided by BAAA members on available units for rent that displaced people from Hurricane Helene and/or Milton may access.
