Thank you! Great reminder during storm season to get prepared. Preparing for storm season involves several key steps to ensure safety and minimize damage. Here are some reminders: 1. **Emergency Kit**: Assemble or update an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, flashlight, batteries, first aid supplies, and medications. 2. **Communication Plan**: Establish a communication plan with family and friends in case of separation during an emergency. Ensure everyone knows how to reach each other. 3. **Weather Alerts**: Stay informed about weather conditions and warnings. Use weather apps or NOAA Weather Radio to receive alerts. 4. **Home Preparation**: Secure outdoor items, trim trees, and clear gutters to minimize potential damage from high winds and heavy rain. 5. **Evacuation Plan**: Know evacuation routes and have a plan in place if evacuation becomes necessary. Prepare your vehicle with essentials if evacuating. 6. **Insurance Coverage**: Review your insurance policies to understand coverage for storm damage. Consider flood insurance if you live in a flood-prone area. 7. **Backup Power**: If possible, have a generator or alternative power source ready in case of power outages. 8. **Important Documents**: Keep copies of important documents (ID, insurance policies, etc.) in a waterproof and accessible place. 9. **Pet Preparedness**: Prepare supplies and a plan for your pets, including food, medications, and a safe place to stay if needed. 10. **Community Resources**: Familiarize yourself with local emergency resources and shelters in your area. 11. **Businesses**: contract with a professional that will control the aftermath, mitigate damages and reduced negative impacts – for your customers, your suppliers, and to your bottom line. By taking these steps, you can better prepare business, yourself and your family for storm season and ensure everyone's safety.
