Stay Safe in a Storm

7/23/2019 (Permalink)

Summer in Central Indiana means ever-changing weather conditions and a storm is always right around the corner. No matter how much preparation you do in anticipation of severe weather, a pop up storm can take us all by surprise. Here are some tips to stay safe when severe weather hits this summer:

*Listen to local weather reports to stay updated on current watches and warnings. Consider purchasing a battery powered emergency radio for use when your home may lose power.

*If you are at home, go to a secure location on the lowest level of your home away from doors and windows. If you have time, take your family pets with you. Stay away from tubs, showers and other plumbing.

*If you are outside, go to the nearest sturdy building (not a small outdoor shed). Do not take shelter under a tree.

*If you are in a vehicle, drive to the closest secure shelter. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance of lightening so do not attempt to "outrun" a lightening storm or dangerous hail. 

Stay safe this summer! If your home or business is damaged by severe weather, call the restoration experts at SERVPRO of Hamilton County, of Indianapolis North, and of Anderson. We are available anytime day or night at 317-773-0422.
