Loose ridge caps on a Glen Park roof covering are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after. In practice, clearing the Glen Park gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, a maintenance record on a Glen Park roof covering also helps at claim time, given that it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.
