Severe Weather Preparation

5/26/2020 (Permalink)

Michigan has its fair share of bad weather. We are lucky enough not to experience many natural disasters, but severe thunderstorms are not uncommon. That is why it is always best to be prepared! Here are some great tips on how you can be ready for whatever mother nature throws your way:

• Check the forecast regularly to be aware of any severe weather on its way
• If available, sign up for local severe weather notifications
• Create a safety plan. Be sure everybody who lives in the home knows where to take shelter if severe weather strikes
• Prepare your home by trimming back trees and branches that are too close to your house and securing any loose objects
• Check on your neighbors. If you encounter severe weather, there is always the chance that those around you may need assistance, whether physically or medically

Do your best to always be prepared for severe weather!
