Time is of the Essence

If you’re in the path of a storm, you must take action as quickly as possible. Why?

High traffic can keep you from evacuating on time—and you don’t want to be stuck in your vehicle in the face of storm-force winds or a potentially deadly storm surge.

Supplies dwindle the longer you wait to shop (yet another reason to stockpile year-round).

Conditions can change quickly. If you expect the storm to hit within the next 24 hours, do your best to stay inside and at home in case severe weather arrives sooner than planned.

Year-Round Preparation

• Regularly test, service, and clean your hurricane generator
• Stock backup fuel, oil, filters, and other supplies to last at least a week during a power outage
• Choose a location where your generator will run, and keep this space clear at all time
• Learn as much as you can about your generator’s safety features

And, if you’re interested in purchasing a backup generator, the time to do this is not a week before a hurricane warning. Generators will fly off the shelves, prices will skyrocket, and backup supplies will be hard to come by.

Instead, do your research and make a purchase while the tropics are quiet—ideally before or after hurricane season begins.

Choose the Right Generator for Your Needs

If you plan to always evacuate during a hurricane, you may only need a generator to power your small RV or tent campsite. But, if you generally want to shelter in place, a larger generator may help you run more critical systems in your home (like a hot water heater, A/C unit, or refrigerator) simultaneously. 

Why You Need Whole-Home Storm Surge Protection

Protecting your home from storm damage is essential. An intense electrical storm or even small surges through your home’s wiring can wreak havoc on your electronics. Although homeowners often have point-of-use surge protectors, they cannot shunt and protect your electronics from lightning or other high-energy surges. To protect from direct lightning strikes or other powerful electrical surges, you will need a professional to install whole-home surge protection. 

Install a Back-Up Battery Powered Sump Pump

Sump pumps are essential for homes in hurricane-prone areas. They redirect incoming water away from the house, protecting basements and lower levels from flooding. You’ll want to invest in a quality sump pump with the power to handle the water your home could get during a hurricane. If you already have one, be proactive and test it regularly. Purchase backup batteries or a generator in case of power outages.
