Hurricane season is upon us. As most of us Floridian’s know, hurricane season spans from June 1
through November 30th of every year. We have been taught the basic hurricane preparedness items,
such as:
- Store 1 gallon of water per person, per day for 3 days or more.
- Have 3 days supply of non-perishable food
- Create a first aid kit
- Make sure you have enough medications and prescription drugs on hand.
- Battery operated radios and flashlights are useful in case of a power outage
- Utilize Hurricane Shutters or Impact Glass on windows
However, something most people forget when preparing for a storm is clearing out the clutter from
their yard. In a storm, many items can become a flying projectile, damaging homes, and cars, and
possibly injuring people.
Before a storm is an ideal time to assess your outdoor space. Take a look at your patio and backyard.
Those dilapidated sheds, old patio furniture, leftover tile and wood from remodeling projects, and
miscellaneous junk all pose a hazard to your home as well as to your neighbors.
Clearing out your junk before a storm hits will lessen property damage, minimize insurance claims, and
help you feel a little safer during a storm. By hiring a professional to help you rid yourself of junk, it
frees up your time to put up hurricane shutters, gather supplies and get ready for the storm.
