 With the impending arrival of Hurricane Igor the public is urged to prepare now, in advance while weather conditions allow. Here are some tips to help secure your home prior to the storm:
ROOF AND TANK
Block the gutters with clean rags or other device to prevent any leaves, salt and other contamination from entering your water tank.
WINDOWS & DOORS
Installing storm shutters over all exposed windows and other glass surfaces is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your home. Cover all windows, French doors, sliding glass doors and skylights. Plywood shutters that you make yourself, if installed properly, can offer a high level of protection from flying debris during a hurricane.
OUTDOOR FURNITURE & ORNAMENTS
Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, toys and garden tools; anchor objects that cannot be brought inside but that could be wind-tossed. Remove outdoor antennas, if possible.
