Stay Safe in Severe Weather

11/6/2017 (Permalink)

Storms often come with no warning. Prepare your home and family ahead of time to minimize your risks in case severe weather strikes. Follow these guidelines to keep your loved ones safe and protect your home or business:

* Keep a flashlight in an easily accessible location on every floor of your house. Check the batteries frequently and replace as necessary. Flashlights are safer than candles.

*Develop a disaster plan for your home and place of business and practice evacuation routes or where to take cover in case of severe weather.

*Always keep a battery powered radio on hand and check the batteries frequently so you can hear weather alerts even if you lose power.

*Keep a first aid kit on hand and an emergency stash of food and water.

Taking simple precautions ahead of time and preparing for severe weather can mean the difference if you or your loved ones are caught in a storm. If severe weather strikes your home or business, call SERVPRO of Hamilton County at 317-773-0422 for immediate restoration services.
