Prepare for Hurricane Season Now With Tips from Amica
Lincoln, RI (PRWEB) May 27, 2014 -- National Hurricane Preparedness Week runs from Sunday, May 25 through Saturday, May 31, so Amica Insurance is sharing tips to help you get ready for the season ahead.
It’s important to take the necessary precautions now – long before inclement weather is in the forecast. These tips from Amica will help keep you, your family, and your property safe in the event of a hurricane:
• Have an emergency supply kit ready. It should include first-aid supplies, nonperishable food, bottled water, a flashlight, and extra batteries.
• Create an evacuation plan, so your family knows what to do and where to go if a hurricane is imminent. Be prepared to evacuate if told to do so, and make sure family and friends know how to reach you afterward.
• Protect your home as much as possible. Performing routine maintenance – like removing dead trees and branches and clearing gutters and downspouts – can help.
• Create an inventory of all belongings, in case you need to file a claim after a hurricane.
• If a hurricane is in the forecast, bring lawn furniture, ornaments, and toys inside. Secure grills, roofs, windows, doors, garage doors, and other areas that are susceptible to wind damage.
