Preparing for Summer Storms in Beckley, WV?
8/27/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Beckley team wants our community to be prepared for summer storms. Summer brings warm weather, but it also ushers in the season of unpredictable storms. Preparing for these storms is crucial to safeguard your home and family.
Start by inspecting your roof for any loose shingles or potential leaks. Ensuring your gutters and downspouts are debris-free will help prevent water damage. Trim overhanging branches that could become projectiles in high winds, and secure outdoor furniture and decorations to prevent them from being blown away.
Investing in a good sump pump can save your basement from flooding, and having a backup generator will keep essential appliances running during power outages. It's also wise to assemble an emergency kit containing essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, and a first-aid kit. Keep essential documents in a waterproof container.
Stay current on local weather forecasts and sign up for emergency alerts. A family emergency plan, including evacuation routes and a communication strategy, will ensure everyone knows what to do if a storm hits.
By taking preventative measures, Beckley residents can enjoy the summer season, knowing they are prepared for whatever Mother Nature may bring.
