June 1st marks the official date of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. With that said, it isn’t a bad idea to prepare a
comprehensive plan for the upcoming season.
Some of the first steps in preparing your house are to stock up on nonperishable items and water. Next, set aside flashlights, extra batteries and
lanterns. If you are on special medications, make sure you are stocked up to
date in case you are unable to leave your home for a few days. Also, plan an evacuation route.
Once you’ve got the indoors under control, it’s time to focus on
your outdoor property. Even though water and wind account for much of the
damage caused by a hurricane, falling trees and flying debris also add to the
destruction.
In order to avoid maximum destruction that trees can cause, proper maintenance needs to be done to keep your trees healthy. This includes pruning,
watering and fertilization. Many people also choose to board their windows when
a hurricane may be approaching to protect the glass from debris. Most of the
time, a lot of the debris comes from your backyard including flying patio
furniture or lawn ornaments. It is important to make sure all of these items
are locked down and secure if you’re expecting a hurricane.
There is no way to make your property 100% safe from hurricane
destruction. Although, taking some of these steps can minimize the damage the
layout of your landscape can cause to your home in the event of a hurricane.
