We are currently in hurricane season, this blog post is designed to help teach you ten knowledgeable tips for hurricane preparedness. Don’t be a part of the statistic and take precautions as soon as possible when there is news about storms in the tropics heading your way.
Head to the grocery store and purchase nonperishable food, water, batteries, gas, and flashlights.
Set up your hurricane shutters on all windows and doors. Shutter types include; accordion shutters, Bahama shutters, hurricane storm panels, colonial shutters, and roll-up shutters.
Buy portable items that are battery powered like; fans, flashlights, walky-talkies, etc.
Think about purchasing a backup generator, because you may not know when the power might come back.
Purchase a first aid kit at the store in case anyone in the house gets hurt because you will not be able to seek medical attention during a hurricane.
Secure all objects outside your house because they could end up being flying debris that causes extra damage to your house.
Make sure to keep a full tank of gas in your car in case of an emergency evacuation.
Keep important documents safe and off the floor in case of floods.
Take Photos of your property to help you in the event that an insurance claim needs to be made.
Move cars from under the tree or power lines to prevent damage to your vehicles.
I hope these tips help you get ready for this hurricane season, stay up to date with the news and make sure to ditch hurricane storm panels and switch to accordion shutters, Bahama shutters, colonial shutters, or roll-up shutters because they are less time consuming and less dangerous. Hurricane storm panels are very sharp and heavy taking a lot of time to secure your property.
