As Tropical Storm Francine approaches the Gulf Coast, it’s important to stay prepared and calm. At Ball Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we’re committed to keeping you safe and comfortable during severe weather. Here’s a helpful storm emergency preparedness checklist to make sure you’re ready:
Before the Storm:
- Backup Power: Ensure your whole home standby generator system is storm-ready by clearing debris around it and checking the fuel levels.
- Secure Your Home: Protect your windows and doors with storm shutters or plywood. Trim trees and clean gutters to minimize potential storm damage.
- Stock Up: Build an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, flashlights, batteries, medications, and first aid supplies. Don’t forget about supplies for your pets!
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local weather reports and make sure you have an evacuation plan in case the situation escalates.
During the Storm:
- Stay Indoors: Find a secure, windowless room to shelter in place. Keep your cell phone charged for emergency alerts.
- Generator Safety: Operate portable generators outdoors only, at least 20 feet away from your home, and keep them clear of windows and doors.
- Power Tips: Unplug appliances to prevent power surges and keep your refrigerator closed to preserve food.
After the Storm:
- Safety First: Avoid downed power lines and flooded areas. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and contact local authorities.
- Check Your Home: Inspect your home for any damage and take photos for insurance purposes. Contact your insurance provider promptly.
- Check Your Generator: If your generator has been running, check the fuel and fluid levels. Topping off oil and refueling helps ensure your home stays powered until services are restored.
