The city sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and most properties are in high-risk flood zones with flood insurance requirements. Post-storm rebuilding has left many homes with a mix of new and old construction that can affect how fires behave.

Coastal wind and weather make prompt board-up important, since an open structure quickly takes on rain and salt air.
For Long Beach property owners, that means securing the property, cleaning soot and smoke residue thoroughly, and documenting everything for insurance.
