Warehouse legal liability responds where the operator is legally responsible for the loss, and under the Uniform Commercial Code a warehouse is not liable for damage that reasonable care could not have avoided. A wildfire reaching the building, an earthquake, or a flood generally falls outside that. The owner of the goods carries that exposure, most often through a stock throughput or cargo policy on their own inventory.
