The hurricane season is approaching and you should have a solid plan to protect yourself and the people around you from the potential storms. If you reside in hurricane common areas like Florida, then you must know the devastating consequences of hurricanes. It’s nearly impossible to control natural phenomena but it’s critical to make a logical plan. We at Armor Screen would like to share a few plans you can make to get ready for the 2022 hurricane season.
1. Make a Plan
You never know the magnitude of a hurricane until it arrives. It’s vital for you to prepare an emergency kit that includes medical supplies, cash, food, water, and other necessary requirements. If you live in an area where hurricanes are common, make sure you are up to date with the community evacuation plans, evacuation zones, and routes. It’s vital to have a plan in place if or when things go south.
2. Check Your Insurance Policy
Before the hurricane season, you should take a double look at your insurance policy and make sure that the policy covers if anything happens to you or your property. To begin, make sure that your existing coverage is adequate to reconstruct your home and restore all of your goods in the case of a personal loss. If you live in an area where hurricanes are common, make sure you have the types of coverage that will protect you from natural calamities like floods and hurricanes.
3. Insert a Hurricane Protective Shield
Hurricane protective shields have evolved in the last decades. The advancement of hurricane protective screens has protected countless residential buildings, businesses, governmental property, sculptures, and others. It becomes critical to install a hurricane protection screen to protect yourself, your family members, or employees from hurricanes and flying debris. We at Armor Screen have been providing unparalleled weather protection for over 20 years.
4. Keep Your Important Documents Safe
If you are someone who keeps all the documents in a printed format, then it’s time for you to change the approach. It’s safe to store your data in the cloud (For example Google Drive or One Drive) to store your confidential information. Some important documents to make a digital copy of might be passports, driver’s licenses, social security cards, insurance policies, health records, and others. Store your hard copy documents in a fireproof, waterproof, and airtight space. If and when the time comes to evacuate, take it with you.
5. Clear Outside Your House
Tree branches should be trimmed and disposed of carefully since they can fall during hurricane gusts or become projectiles if left on the ground. Secure your rain gutters and downspouts, and clean up any blocked spots that may be preventing water from flowing from your property. When you know a hurricane is approaching, bikes, garbage cans, outside furniture, barbecues, tanks, and building equipment should be moved to a safe location, either inside or secured down, because they can fly in severe winds.
It’s unfeasible to prevent a hurricane but you can take the necessary steps to protect yourself and the people around you from any injury. Installing a hurricane screen in your home will protect you and your family from devastating damage and flying debris.
