It has been said that moving is one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. Once you add in a natural or man-made disaster to the mix the stress can become overwhelming.
Disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding can strike at any time and at any location. Depending on the situation, employees may experience damage to or delays on their household goods in transit, damage or loss to the home being sold or purchased and limited housing availability. Managing a relocating employee through a disaster situation can be challenging.
Cornerstone follows a formal communication plan when disasters occur to ensure that employees are safe and contingency plans are in place to make it less stressful. We work with our supplier partners to support affected employees, such as locating temporary housing, expediting household goods shipments or ensuring employees receive quick access to funds. Our account directors initiate the following process for all relocations in the affected areas.

As it pertains to home sale, Cornerstone is alerted by our insurance provider of extreme weather conditions that may impact a relocation. With those alerts, we track all active and contract pending transactions along with all inventory homes that are in the affected area and alert our clients accordingly.
In all situations, Cornerstone will reach out to our Clients to advise them of the status of the home sale transaction.
