“The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and peaks from mid-August to late-October,” stated CNN.
Now is the best time to prepare for a possible storm. Before it happens. Benjamin Franklin obviously thought it was wise to be prepared. He wrote two profound quotes about the subject.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”―Benjamin Franklin
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”―Benjamin Franklin
Let’s get you prepared.
Before a Hurricane
American Red Cross, FEMA or Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency all provide valuable information about how to prepare for emergencies.
“Being prepared means being equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster. Keep your supplies in an easy-to-carry emergency preparedness kitthat you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate,” reports American Red Cross.
Ready Georgia states “as a coastal state, Georgia is at risk for hurricanes that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage even hundreds of miles inland, so every resident needs to understand their risks and should plan what to do in the event of an evacuation”. Ready Georgia encourages people to Make Your Own Ready Kit to be prepared.
Pull together all of the supplies you may need before the storm hits such as water, fuel, toiletries, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, cash, etc.
Contact your insurance company to verify your coverage in the event of any damage. Temporary relocation is frequently covered when your home is damaged.
If the weather predictions are saying you are directly in the storm’s path, strongly consider relocating your family and animals. Your home may sustain structural damages from a storm, or floodwaters in your area. It’s wise that you follow the advice of your local officials before or during a storm on whether to evacuate.
If you decide to evacuate, make sure you secure your property and gather important documents and valuables to take with you. Keep a record of your expenses and keep your receipts for a possible claim.
During a Hurricane
If you end up staying at home during a hurricane, stay inside and find an interior room, closet or bathroom on the lower level and away from windows, glass doors and skylights. Turn off the electricity at the main breaker if flooding looks possible.
After a Hurricane
Use extreme caution if you are outside. Fallen power lines and high water can be dangerous. During daylight, check your home and property to access the damage. If there is any damage to your property:
- Contact your Insurance Agent
- Contact a local Emergency Home Remodeling Company that is familiar with insurance claim work. They will follow up with an inspection, estimates and specifications to get you back on your feet.
