Severe weather can occur in any season!

We’re here to help you become well-rounded at knowing what to do in the event of a storm, and how you can safely keep your home, family, business, and belongings safe!

Observe Changing Conditions

We’ve all looked up at the sky at one point or another and said “this doesn’t look good” -- but how many times have you acted on it? In these situations, it’s important to think about what’s happening around you. If you think it looks bad, it might be worth checking one or two weather apps for an update on the current system in your area. This helps give you peace of mind or can help you prep for the weather you’re about to endure at home.

Keep Tools Handy

During adverse storm conditions, you can lose power, watch trees fall, and experience flying debris due to wind. Remember, your home is supposed to be a safe area, however it’s hard to protect it without the right tools! Keeping candles, a generator, wooden boards and flashlights are just a short component of the laundry list of things that you can use to better prepare yourself for what’s coming, or already here.
