Hurricane Safety Tips To Follow
1. Be Alert
It is important to know what the risks are in your area and what you can do to prepare for them. Sign up for community warning systems and weather alerts to get the most up to date information.
2. Prepare Your Home
In order to prepare your home for a hurricane, you should check the doors and windows of your home. If they are not sealed properly, you will need to make sure that they are fixed before the storm. You should also make sure that any glass on windows is secure and won’t break during the storm.
You should also check the roofs of your home. If there are any loose shingles or tiles, you will want to fix them before a hurricane hits. You will also want to make sure that all gutters are clear of debris so water can flow freely from your roof during a storm.
3. Create An Emergency Kit
A well-stocked emergency kit is a must for any home. It can help you in the event of a power outage or evacuation. An emergency kit should contain first aid supplies, water, food, and survival tools such as flashlights and radios.
