Preparing for a Hurricane in Luzerne County

9/5/2018 (Permalink)

Ready for whatever happens.

It has been six years since our last hurricane in NEPA, but it is always important to be prepared for one. The Atlantic hurricane season is June 1 through November 30 each year. As we are in the middle of the season, please follow these important hurricane preparedness tips from CDC:

• Take basic steps now to ensure your safety should a storm hit.

• Stock your home and your car with supplies.

• Create a family disaster plan.

• Avoid flooded areas and take precautions before, during, and after a flood.

• Never ignore an evacuation order.

• Understand older adult health and medical concerns.

• Ensure your pet’s safety before, during, and after an emergency.

• Ensure your CO detector has working batteries. Place generators outside at least 20 feet from any door, window, or vent.

• Learn how to avoid injuries, make sure your food and water are safe, and clean safely.

• Following a hurricane, our SERVPRO franchise can be reached 24/7 to mitigate the storm damage and any secondary damage such as mold.
