Are you ready for the 2020 Hurricane Season? Our guide to prevent hurricane damage

5/16/2020 (Permalink)

The Pacific Hurricane Season started yesterday and runs through until November 30. We of SERVPRO of East Honolulu know the repercussions of hurricane-related issues and recommend a few things for this coming season: 

1. Preparedness 
1. Make sure you know your insurance policy, this will be with your homeowners insurance. Know how you are covered from windstorm damage. 
2. Spam! The first thing that runs out during a hurricane warning is Spam and toilet paper. Make sure, before there is even a storm warning, you have enough food, house supplies, and hygienic materials for your household for at least 48 hours.  
2. Strengthening your home 
1. Learn what types of water damage you can have, also know where your least secure areas of the house are.  
   1.  This is your garage doors, windows, doors, and roof.

These 2 simple tips can keep you prepared, and are simple enough to uphold throughout the season! On behalf of the SERVPRO of East Honolulu we hope you stay safe!
