Check your windows and doors for cracks or damage, and make sure they&rsquo;re securely shut. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to have a plan in place in case you need to quickly shut them during the storm.<\/p>\n<p>2. Clean out any debris from rain gutters and downspouts, as clogs can cause water damage. Make sure all exterior drains are functioning properly as well.<\/p>\n<p>3. Inspect your roof for any missing or damaged shingles, and if there is any damage make sure it is repaired before the storm hits.<\/p>\n<p>4. Trim branches that may fall on your roof or property during the storm and remove any fallen trees or limbs from around your house and yard before the storm arrives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. Unplug electronic items that aren&rsquo;t being used as these can be damaged by power surges caused by storms. If you have an attic fan, make sure it&#8217;s disconnected too in order to prevent it from blowing off during high winds associated with storms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. Store patio furniture, grills, and other outdoor items away in a safe location like a garage or shed so they don&#8217;t get blown away by high winds or heavy rains associated with storms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7. Make sure you have plenty of flashlights, candles, and batteries as power outages are common during storms &ndash; having light available will ensure safety while navigating around your home in low visibility conditions due to darkness or inclement weather outside of it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Get The Right Coverage For Your Needs<\/h3>\n<p>For more tips and to get flood insurance for your best protection, give us at the Barry Insurance Group a call today.
