Protect Your Home with these Home Service Heroes Safety Tips

Hey there Tampa Bay! As the owner of Home Service Heroes and a lifelong resident of Florida, I know firsthand how important it is to be prepared during hurricane season. Our community is no stranger to these powerful storms, and every year we have to think ahead to keep our homes and families safe. That’s why I want to share some essential hurricane safety tips with you and tell you about a special offer we’ve put together to help you stay ready.

1. Have a Solid Plan

Before a storm is even on the radar, take the time to sit down with your family and create a hurricane preparedness plan. Know your evacuation routes, decide on a safe place to meet if you get separated, and make sure everyone knows how to contact each other during an emergency. It’s always better to be over-prepared than caught off guard.

2. Gather Your Supplies Early

Don’t wait until the last minute to stock up on necessities. Make sure you have at least three days’ worth of food, water, and other essentials like medications and first aid supplies. And don’t forget about your pets – they need to be ready too!

3. Protect Your Home Like a Pro

Your home is your sanctuary and keeping it safe during a hurricane is a top priority. Here are some ways to do that:

  • Install Storm Shutters: Protect those windows! Storm shutters are a great way to keep your home secure.
  • Reinforce Doors and Garage Doors: Make sure they’re strong enough to stand up to hurricane-force winds.
  • Trim Those Trees: Get rid of any dead branches that could turn into dangerous projectiles.
  • Secure Outdoor Items: Bring in anything that could blow away – grills, furniture, you name it.

4. Check Your Electrical System

Power outages are almost a given during hurricanes, and electrical problems can be a major hazard. I strongly recommend having a licensed electrician inspect your home’s electrical system. And if you don’t already have one, consider getting a generator. It can be a lifesaver during a power outage.

5. Keep Your Emergency Contacts Handy

Make a list of important contacts, including local emergency services, family, and – of course – us here at Home Service Heroes. Make sure everyone in your family has a copy of this list, both digitally and on paper.

6. Stay Informed

Keep an eye on the weather updates and listen to any evacuation orders or safety warnings from local authorities. Having a battery-powered radio and a fully charged phone can make all the difference.
