Storm Safety 101

10/16/2022 (Permalink)

Know what to do to avoid storm damage.

Even though we’re headed into fall – we’re not completely clear of hurricane season yet. The good news is we usually have a substantial heads up for storms of this magnitude. But not all storms give us fair warning – if elements combine in just the right way – we can get thunder, lightning and wind worthy of worry. Although storms are unpredictable, there are things we can do to keep our homes and offices safe from damage.

• Keep trees manicured and gutters clean.
• Make sure your roof is in good shape.
• Move your car into the garage to avoid hail damage.
• During a storm, stay on top of developing concerns by watching the news or consulting your weather app regularly.
• Do not go outside in a storm unless it is absolutely necessary.
• Don’t sleep near a window if there are high winds or a tornado warning.
• Make sure pets are safe inside before a storm starts.
• Keep a flashlight near and charge your phone in the event of a power outage.
