At I. Dachs & Sons, we believe that preparation is the key to safety and resilience. Explore our comprehensive resources for Hurricane Preparedness.
Hurricanes bring destructive winds, heavy rains, and storm surges. Early planning is essential. Protect yourself with these steps.
How to Prepare for Hurricanes:
- Evacuation Planning: Know your evacuation zone, routes, and local shelters. Prepare your vehicle and keep gas tanks full.
- Secure Your Home: Install storm shutters, reinforce garage doors, and bring in outdoor furniture.
- Emergency Kit: Include food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents in waterproof bags.
- Stay Informed: Monitor hurricane warnings and understand the difference between watches and warnings.
- After the Storm: Wait for official “all clear” before returning home. Watch for hazards like downed power lines and contaminated water.
