6. Useful Tips To Ensure A Storm Safe Home
from:With the arrival of monsoon and winters comes the threat of storms. Storm safety and maintenance measures need to be taken before you head into seasons which are likely to trigger them. There are certain safety measures, which must be taken by you for your as well as your family member’s safety.
Storms can turn out to be very dangerous indeed. So make sure that every one in the family is familiar with secure routes from school, home, work or wherever they are. Make sure that your vehicles are in good condition. Always keep an emergency kit in your vehicle. Make a list and buy all the necessary items, which you and your family will need, in case you are not able to get out of the home for a few days due to stormy conditions.
Your storm safety and maintenance plan must include a weather radio for your home. Make sure that all of you are familiar with the frequency of the radio station, which will provide weather details, so that you can tune in to your radio easily when required.
Make a backup plan for all the family members. In case people are separated during a storm, which is quite possible during a day storm, then you must know about a safe destination, where all of you will get together. Teach your children about the emergency numbers and how to dial them. It is very important for their safety indeed. Keep flashlights and candles in easy to find places.
Storm safety and maintenance is important for your home. If you have roof leaks then get them repaired. Clean rain gutters. It will be good to install weather proof doors, windows and shutters. You must have emergency heating tools in your home for safety reasons. Because in case of severe storm there are increased chances of cut offs of regular fuel resource. You must store wood, which will last for several days for your fire place. Also ensure that your fire place is cleaned and have it checked by a professional to ensure that it is safe to use if required.
Protect your pipes from freezing. To do so you can wrap them with old newspapers. To keep away the moisture it is important that you surround the newspaper with plastic. You must know how and what you can do to help your kids, elderly, and neighbors in case they need you in an emergency. You can avoid emergency situations and reduce the detrimental impact of storms, if you ensure storm safety and carry out maintenance of all necessary equipment before the arrival of winter. You can also take quick and correct decisions at crucial times by preparing yourself in advance.
