How To Prepare For A Storm!
Hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. Typically, July, August, and September are the worst months. Here are just a few tips we recommend for staying safe and preparing your apartment before evacuating.
- Remove all perishable contents from your refrigerator and place them in a plastic trash bag and put them outside in your trash container. The electricity may be out for several days and your rotting food will damage the refrigerator.
- Place trash containers in the rear of the building against the building or in the basement.
- Unplug all electronic devices. If the power is lost and restored there is often an electrical surge that can destroy your TV, computer, or electrical items.
- Turn off the A/C if you leave the apartment. A power surge can damage the unit.
- Remove patio furniture and any items from your porch, balcony, or yard. Those could become deadly projectiles when the high winds gust.
- Close all windows securely and lock them to prevent wind damage.
- Take your important documents with you. This is the time to make sure you have a lease copy and any insurance documents at hand.
- Remove any valuables from the apartment.
- Do not leave any pets in the apartment alone. You must take your pets when you leave (if any).
- Please keep your rent current, even if you exit the city. You can now pay your rent online. Pay my rent online now
- Fill your vehicle’s gas tank before the storm.
Please do not take these precautions lightly. Listen to the local weather and government broadcast and follow their lead.
