Hurricane Preparedness & Emergency Roofing Services

Being prepared for a hurricane significantly reduces the potential impact on your home and family. Here are some important steps you can take to enhance your hurricane preparedness:

1. Stay Informed

Stay updated on the latest weather forecasts, hurricane warnings, and evacuation orders issued by local authorities. Pay attention to official announcements through radio, TV, or reliable weather apps.

2. Create an Emergency Kit

Prepare an emergency kit that includes essential supplies to sustain your family for at least three days. Your kit should include:

• Sufficient drinking water (one gallon per person per day)
• Non-perishable food items
• Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio
• Flashlights and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Medications
• Important documents and identification
• Cash
• Personal hygiene items

3. Secure Your Property

Protect your home by reinforcing doors and windows. Consider installing hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows to minimize potential damage caused by strong winds and flying debris. Trim trees and remove loose objects from your yard that could become projectiles during a hurricane.

4. Review Your Insurance Coverage

Review your homeowners’ insurance policy to ensure it adequately covers hurricane-related damages, including roof repairs or replacements. Consider additional coverage if necessary. Take inventory of your belongings and keep a record of your policy information in a safe place.

5. Develop an Evacuation Plan

Prepare an evacuation plan with your family and identify safe evacuation routes. Determine a meeting point in case you get separated and share your plan with family members and friends. Follow the instructions and guidance provided by local authorities when an evacuation is advised.
