Storm preparedness

Natural disasters can strike without warning. From hurricanes to floods, every homeowner should have a plan to keep their family and property safe.

1. Secure Your Property

Check your roof, windows, and doors. Reinforce weak points and remove debris that could become projectiles during storms.

2. Protect Important Documents

Keep deeds, insurance papers, and identification in waterproof containers or digital storage.

3. Emergency Supplies

Stock food, water, batteries, flashlights, and first-aid kits. Aim for at least 72 hours of self-sufficiency.

4. Post-Disaster Recovery

Once safe, contact professionals like Norwood Restoration Group for assessments, water removal, and structural repair.
