Hurricane Helene is making its way toward Georgia, and it’s essential for homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their property. Severe winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding could cause significant damage to homes and properties. Here’s a guide on how to prepare for the storm and what to do after it passes.

Before the Hurricane: Preparation is Key

• Secure Your Property: Make sure to secure outdoor furniture, grills, and any loose items that could become dangerous projectiles in high winds. Trim trees and branches that could fall onto your home during the storm.

  
  

• Reinforce Doors and Windows: If you can Install storm shutters or plywood over windows to prevent breakage. Reinforce your doors and garage to ensure they can withstand strong winds.

  
  

• Check Roof and Gutters: Ensure your roof is in good condition and free of any loose shingles. Clean out your gutters to ensure proper drainage during heavy rain.

  
  

• Emergency Kit: Stock up on essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, and a first aid kit. Don’t forget to include important documents and medications in your emergency kit.

• Evacuation Plan: If you live in a flood-prone area, be prepared to evacuate. Know your evacuation route and have a plan for where to stay.
