Storm and Hurricane Season are Here!

Every year tornadoes cost about $400 million in damage across the United States every year, with an average cost of $8,179 per house. We want you and your family to be prepared, follow these tips to stay safe during this storm season.

• The best way to be prepared for storm damage is to have an insurance policy that covers storm-related damage. Check with your insurance provider to make sure damage from wind, lightning and falling tree branches. You should make sure you are covered now, before the storm comes through. 
• We want you to keep your family safe, so make sure you are prepared by having a family plan. You should have a designated shelter area that is in the basement or ground level. This area should have no windows and enough room for your entire family to stay in for a few hours until the storm is over. In this area you should have essentials such as: includes flashlights, a first aid kit, and blankets for if the power goes out. 
• Having a generator is the best way to get proactive before the storm. You don't want to be buying one after the storm has occurred when everyone is trying to get one too.
