The Eye of Hurricane Dorian - heading towards the mainland of the United States

Although Hurricane season began June 1 we are now in peak season of the potential of a Hurricane. As we are all watching Hurricane Dorian slide up the coast and praying for all those in his path – we need to all be reminded that being prepared is the best way you can ride the storm out.

Plan your evacuation route and pay close attention to news sources and local government officials. Check locations of the nearest shelters and make sure if you have pets, they will be welcome. 

Keep non-perishable emergency supplies on hand – don’t wait for the warning pick up a few supplies each time you do your weekly shopping. Keep a supply of batteries, candles, supplies to protect your home, drinking water, first aid kit and food items that do not need to be cooked or kept refrigerated.

Review your insurance policies and make sure you keep copies of your policy with you. Take all necessary steps to protect your home.  Cover windows and glass doors and make sure all weak branches are cut to avoid any further damage to your home.

Most importantly keep your family safe and know you can count on SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens Counties to be there for you!
