How to Prepare Your Coastal Home for Hurricane Season
If you live on the coast, preparing for hurricane season isn’t just a precaution—it’s a necessity. With June 1 marking the official start of the season, now is the time to make sure your home is ready to withstand high winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall. Here are key steps you can take to protect your property and peace of mind:
🌴 Install Hurricane-Rated Shutters: Storm shutters are your first line of defense. At Atlantic Breeze Storm Shutters, we offer a wide range of solutions—from roll shutters and storm panels to Bahama and Colonial styles. Our shutters are tested to meet the highest standards and help prevent broken windows, water intrusion, and structural damage.
🌴 Secure Loose Items Around the Home: Outdoor furniture, planters, grills, and even garden tools can become projectiles during a storm. Store them indoors or use tie-downs to secure them before the winds pick up.
🌴 Check for Vulnerable Entry Points: Inspect doors, garage doors, and windows for cracks or weak seals. Reinforcing these areas can make a big difference when the storm hits.
🌴 Trim Trees and Clear Gutters: Fallen limbs and blocked drainage can quickly lead to flooding and roof damage. Take time to trim overhanging branches and ensure gutters and downspouts are clear.
🌴 Create a Hurricane Kit: Always have essentials ready: water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents stored in a waterproof container.
🌴 Have a Plan: Know your evacuation zone and route. Share your plan with family members and stay updated on local emergency alerts.
