Before, During and After the Storm

1/7/2019 (Permalink)

Before a storm hits the three main areas to protect from storm damage are: roof, windows, and doors. Review your insurance policies. Make sure you have hurricane protection and a flood policy if you live in a flood prone area and it protects your home and your belongings. You can also take photos of your home before the emergency just in case you have to file a claim. Also, having your emergency bag ready can save you time if you need to evacuate your home. 

During the storm you want to stay in a safe place away from windows or doors. Don't go into the streets, disconnect all unnecessary electronic appliances. Avoid fires by use a battery flashlight instead of candles or gas lamps. Remember to protect your pets as well by having food and water for them in a designated area in your house. 

After the storm, assess your property to see if there has been any damage that may have occurred. Protect your property from further damages. If there are any damages that have occurred you should call your insurance adjuster or call your nearest SERVPRO to come assess, work with your insurance if needed, and to help restore any damage to help get you back to normal.
