How to Protect Your Home This Hurricane Season

With Hurricane Season right around the corner, it is time to start breaking out the shutters, stocking up and getting ready to "hunker down."

But how can you protect your home from damage this Hurricane Season?

• Check Your Roof for leaks and other damage that could leave it susceptible to the rain and wind. Make any repairs before Hurricane Season is in full swing.

• Protect Your Windows with shutters or plywood to shield against airborne objects and extreme wind.

• Trim Your Trees to protect against branches breaking off and becoming airborne during a storm.

• Secure Outdoor Furniture by either tying it down or bringing it inside.

As always, make sure to stock up on bottles of water and non-perishable goods, as well as any medicine you may need. It is important to have flashlights and a battery powered radio (with plenty of extra batteries). You may also want to consider investing in a generator in case of a loss of power after a storm.
