Hurricane Season 2017

Hurricane Season is here!

With Tropical Storm Cindy making landfall this week, we at SERVPRO of Haddon Heights/Vorhees wanted to remind everyone about the dangers of hurricanes in our area as well as some tips on how to limit the damage to as little as possible. This hurricane season forecast is being described as “busier than usual”, so make sure you, your home, and your loved ones are prepared.

The first step in hurricane preparedness is to know the evacuation routes in your area. That way you are able to evacuate quickly and safely in the event of a mandatory evacuation.

If you are unable to evacuate, make sure that you have plenty of water, batteries, flashlights, a first aid kit, and non-perishable food items handy. If power is lost during the storm, there’s no telling how long it could be out for. Be sure to wait out the storm in a secure room, away from windows.

After the storm has passed, report any downed power lines but DO NOT get close to them.

Be prepared and stay safe out there everybody!
