Home Preparation for Hurricane (Part 2)

Your home is one of your largest investments, so protecting it from natural disasters is probably one of your top priorities.

This year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center expects a "near-normal" hurricane season. That means approximately 10 to 16 named storms, including four to eight hurricanes, one to four of which may be severe, between June 1 and Nov. 30.

Landscaping

• Trim trees, shrubbery, and dead limbs, especially ones close to your home.
• Repair or replace broken or damaged fences.

Doors

• Reinforce garage doors and tracks or replace them with a hurricane tested the door.
• Reinforce double entry doors with heavy-duty foot and head bolts.
• Use a security deadbolt with a one-inch minimum bolt length.

Windows

• If possible, install tested/manufactured hurricane shutters.
• Inspect existing shutters to ensure they are in good working order.

Alternative: Use 5/8” or greater exterior grade plywood secured by 2 1/2” screws and/or special clips. Obtain wood and fasteners, cut wood to size, pre-drill holes, and place anchors on homes.
