📞 CALL NOW: 321-420-7274 (Emergency Prep Consultation)APRIL-MAY: Early Preparation (Bulk of Prep)
Review insurance policy
Know your coverage limits, deductibles, and what''s protected. Call agent with questions NOW, not during storm.
Document home inventory
Photo/video EVERY room, closet, valuable item. Store photos in cloud (not just phone). Insurance needs proof.
Get professional home inspection
Roof, plumbing, A/C, foundation. Identify weaknesses. Repairs done now are cheaper than post-storm.
Trim trees & remove dead branches
Falling branches = roof damage. Professional arborist work. Do this when weather is calm.
JUNE 1: Season Starts — Stock Supplies
Stock food & water for 2 weeks
1 gallon per person per day (drinking + cooking). Non-perishable food (canned goods, protein bars).
Stock medications for 30+ days
Fill all prescriptions in early June. Pharmacies close during storms. Stock extras.
Board up or storm shutters ready
Have materials on hand or contract installed. Sheets of plywood, bolts, shutters. Test fit NOW.
Generator fuel & test generator
Full tank propane or diesel. Change oil. Test run monthly. Know how to refuel safely.
Have cash on hand
ATMs & card readers go down. Keep $500-$1000 cash at home. Post-storm, no power = no debit.
72 HOURS BEFORE STORM: Final Actions
INSTALL BOARDING/SHUTTERS
Secure all windows and doors. Prevent flying glass & water intrusion.
Fill bathtubs with water
Toilet water may be unusable. Bathtub water for flushing toilets, cleaning.
Top off generator fuel
Know run time (typically 8-12 hours). Calculate fuel needed for storm duration.
Secure outdoor items
Patio furniture, trash cans, landscaping items become flying missiles. Bring inside or strap down.
Decide: Shelter-in-place or evacuate
Know your evacuation zone. If told to evacuate, GO. Don''t wait for orders.
