Many in the Cape Fear region took quite a hit when Hurricane Florence rolled through in September of last year. With the most active period of hurricane season upon us yet again, we at Sweyer Property Management want to remind everyone of some hurricane prep best practices to employ as you prepare yourselves and your homes for any severe weather events that could pop up over the next few months.
When to Start Preparing
You should begin closely monitoring a storm just as soon as it is predicted to be heading towards eastern NC. Even if an impending storm is being forecasted to land as tropical storm or a lower category, it can still pack quite a punch – Florence rolled in as a Category 1.
As the storm’s path, projected arrival time and strength become clearer, start formulating plans for where your family will ride out the storm. Are you planning to stay in your home, or will you evacuate? Where will you go if an evacuation becomes mandatory? Do you know where the shelters in your area are located? All of these things are important to keep in mind and plan for well ahead of a hurricane making landfall.
Gathering Supplies and Readying Your Home
Whether you’re a seasoned hurricane veteran or fairly new to hurricane prepping, there are some things you should consider when readying yourself, your home and your family:
