As residents of New Smyrna Beach, we know the importance of being prepared for storms. Being proactive can make all the difference in protecting your property and ensuring your safety, whether it's a tropical storm, hurricane, or severe thunderstorm. At SERVPRO of New Smyrna Beach-Titusville, we're here to provide essential tips on storm preparation and explain how we can assist you if your home or business experiences storm damage.

Essential Storm Preparation Tips

  1. Create an Emergency Plan

    • Evacuation Routes: Know your evacuation routes and have a plan for where you will go if you need to leave your home.
    • Communication Plan: Establish a communication plan with family members to ensure everyone knows how to stay in touch during a storm.

  2. Prepare an Emergency Kit

    • Essentials: Include water, non-perishable food, medications, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and a battery-powered radio.
    • Important Documents: Keep important documents like insurance policies, identification, and medical records in a waterproof container.

  3. Secure Your Property

    • Windows and Doors: Install storm shutters or board up windows and doors with plywood to protect against flying debris.
    • Outdoor Items: Bring in or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and other items that could become projectiles in high winds.

  4. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters

    • Ensure your roof is in good condition and repair any loose or damaged shingles. Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage.

  5. Trim Trees and Shrubs

    • Trim trees and shrubs to reduce the risk of branches breaking and causing damage during high winds.

  6. Backup Power

    • Consider installing a generator to keep essential appliances running in the event of a power outage.
