Have you noticed that severe weather seems a bit more…severe lately? That’s because it is 🌩️ Scientists have noted that there’s been an uptick in record-setting extreme weather.
While there’s no way to protect all of your assets in the case of a storm, you can still be prepared. Here are 4 tips:
☂️ Opt-in to local weather notifications. Even with your phone on silent or “do not disturb,” weather alerts will still push through.
☂️ Know where you will go. Once you get that alert, you may have just minutes to get to safety. Ensure everyone in your home knows where that is.
☂️ Secure untethered outdoor items. Porch furniture, grills, umbrellas, etc. should be placed securely inside a garage or other shelter.
☂️ Hire a tree service to identify dangerous trees. In particular, unhealthy trees can cause significant damage during a storm.
Stay safe, and as always, let us know if you need anything! Feel free to share these tips to help keep others safe, too 🧡
