Florida is no stranger to bad weather including potentially
severe storms, so you should be prepared for the risk of facing such events
during the upcoming summer.
1. Protect your roof
Protecting your roof requires a proactive attitude that includes having Panama City roofers choose design and
materials suitable for Florida`s climate
2. Secure the windows
You need made from resistant materials and installed
properly to keep the water out. Just for the case a storm is accompanied by
strong winds and hail, you should also consider installing functional non-decorative
shutters.
3. Secure outdoor loose objects
Outdoor furniture, plant pots, bicycles, tools and various
other objects around the house should be brought in, until the storm passes.
4. Take the car to the garage, or to a safe
place, where it cannot be hit by falling shingles or tree branches.
5. Stop the utilities
Water, gas and electricity should be turned
off to prevent leaks and fire hazards in your home. However, make sure you have
some alternatives sources of electricity (flashlights, batteries…), to avoid
being left in the dark, in case that the power goes down for a while.
6. Check your insurance policy and make sure
you are adequately covered in case of different property damage caused by
severe storms
