Fort Worth's Year-Round Risks
What your business faces each season and the coverage that actually protects you.
Spring: Storm Season
March - May
Hail and dryline storms roll in fast along I-35W; the Trinity’s low spots flood trails and park roads. Keep roofers pre-vetted, downspout extensions ready and vendor COIs current. Outdoor venues plan tenting and flooring with an eye on runoff.
Must Have:
Property coverage with storm damage protection
Must Have:
Equipment breakdown + business interruption
Summer: Heat + Storms
June - August
Heat runs long and hard—HVAC, refrigeration and line crews strain. Outflow winds from collapsing storms topple limbs, kill power and send patio umbrellas flying. Hydration, shade and electrical surge protection are non-negotiable.
Fall: Severe Weather
September - November
Secondary storm season brings training rain bands. Stockyards events and TCU home games stack traffic; schedule deliveries early, staff for detours, and mind slick entries during downpours.
Must Have:
Comprehensive property + business interruption
Must Have:
Property coverage including freeze damage
Winter: Cold Weather
December - February
Blue Northers bring freeze-thaw cycles that burst pipes and pop sprinkler heads in unheated suites. Protect backflows, keep heat on in vacant spaces, and document inspections for claims.

Common Questions
Are Trinity River overflows in the park considered flood under my policy?
Yes—surface water from rivers is flood. Standard property excludes it unless you add a Flood endorsement or separate policy. Consider water/sewer backup for restrooms and break rooms in low-lying suites.
We operate near the Stockyards. Are detours/crowd control covered as business interruption?
Not unless there’s nearby physical damage and a civil authority order prohibiting access. Plan staffing and alternative access for event nights or incident perimeters.
Do power blips from summer storms cover my spoiled inventory?
Only with Spoilage and/or Utility Service Interruption. Add equipment breakdown for surge damage to compressors and electronics.
How do hail deductibles work on metal roofs?
Many Fort Worth policies carry percentage wind/hail deductibles and exclude cosmetic damage. Documentation of prior condition and protective maintenance helps.
We’re a vendor at Mayfest and outdoor shows. What insurance should we carry?
General Liability naming organizers and the city as additional insureds, inland marine for your gear, and event cancellation/extra expense if weather delays are costly.
