What it is
Storm work joins two jobs that usually stay separate: getting water out of a building, and closing the opening that let it in. The second frequently comes first, because a roof or window still open to the sky makes drying the interior pointless while more weather is forecast.
When it is needed
After wind-driven rain, surface flooding, or a failure of the building envelope during a storm. Often before the weather has finished, which is what separates this from an indoor water loss - the source is still active and outside anyone's control.
What it typically involves
Temporary protection goes on first: board-up, shrink-wrap or tarping over whatever failed, so the interior stops taking on water. Extraction and drying then proceed as they would otherwise. The significant difference is classification - flood water that has crossed ground outside is treated as contaminated whatever it looks like, since it has run over soil, roadway and whatever those carry, so the removal scope follows the contaminated-water standard rather than the clean-water one. Storm damage also tends to be structural as well as wet, meaning the sequence runs protection, then assessment of what the wind did, then drying, then repair. Skipping to repair while the envelope is still compromised is the common and expensive mistake.
