Next in order are retail properties, at 19.6 percent, and hotels, at 15.2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The Morningstar Credit Ratings report suggests that undamaged multifamily and hospitality properties could see additional demand from families looking for temporary housing.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources of resources<\/h2>\n<p>Just last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/are-you-ready-for-the-next-storm\/\">Kevin Donnelly of the National Multifamily Housing Council<\/a> noted that the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was forecast to have the potential to generate up to 16 named storms, including up to four major hurricanes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He described the pros and cons of private flood insurance versus the National Flood Insurance Program and recommended that multifamily operators avail themselves of both FEMA\u2019s Hurricane Ready Business Toolkit and the NMHC\u2019s own resources for preparing for and responding to severe weather events.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of <\/em>Morningstar Inc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morningstar Credit Ratings has identified more than 180 securitized commercial mortgages on properties in North Carolina counties that have been declared disaster areas because of the storm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004266871,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21825,21751,21742,1604,21749],"tags":[35826,38161,38327],"class_list":["post-1004266862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-finance","category-hotel","category-latest","category-raleigh-durham","category-retail","tag-cmbs","tag-morningstar-credit-ratings","tag-morningstar-inc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
