When a major storm, wildfire, or catastrophic event strikes, damage rarely stops at one property. Apartment complexes, HOAs, resorts, and business campuses often suffer widespread loss — creating complex, multi-building claims that require speed, coordination, and expertise.
At Willis, Willis & Willis Public Adjusters LLC, our CAT (Catastrophe) Response Team is built for exactly that. We help property managers, associations, and business owners throughout California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Georgia, and Nevada organize, document, and recover faster after large-scale disasters.
What Is a CAT Team?
A CAT Team, short for Catastrophe Response Team, is a group of experienced public adjusters, estimators, and inspectors who mobilize quickly after a large-scale event. Their role is to:
- Assess multiple buildings simultaneously
- Document all structural, interior, and contents damages
- Coordinate claims efficiently for multiple policyholders or insured locations
- Negotiate settlements that accurately reflect the total loss
This approach ensures that no structure, tenant space, or coverage area gets overlooked during the chaos following a disaster.
Why Multi-Building Claims Require Special Handling
Large property claims can become complicated fast. Insurers may send multiple adjusters, each evaluating only part of the loss — which can lead to inconsistent documentation, coverage gaps, or delayed payouts.
A coordinated CAT Team approach helps you:
- Maintain one unified damage assessment across all affected buildings
- Ensure accurate estimating and consistent repair scopes
- Streamline communication with your insurer
- Reduce confusion and avoid duplicate or missed claims
How Willis Public Adjusters Organizes Multi-Building Claims
1. Rapid Mobilization
Our CAT Team is on call during high-risk seasons — wildfire, storm, and freeze events — ready to deploy within hours.
2. Unified Damage Assessment
We perform on-site inspections for every structure, from roofs and siding to interior systems, documenting all losses using thermal imaging, drone surveys, and moisture mapping technology.
3. Detailed Estimating & Policy Coordination
Each property’s estimate is built to industry-standard platforms (Xactimate®, Symbility®) and aligned with your insurance policy’s specific terms, including ordinance and law or code upgrade coverage.
4. Strategic Claim Filing
We organize and file all claims under a consistent framework — making it easier for insurance carriers to process and approve them efficiently.
5. Negotiation & Settlement Support
Our licensed adjusters handle negotiations directly with insurers to maximize your total recovery, not just per-building payouts.
6. Appraisal & Umpire Services if Needed
If disputes arise, our certified appraiser and umpire team steps in to resolve valuation disagreements fairly and efficiently.
