2/8/2022 (Permalink)
Lakewood residents are exposed to severe weather events throughout the year, and many of these weather events happen with little advanced warning. SERVPRO® of Lakewood-Ken Caryl responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year and offer these storm safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
- Develop and practice an evacuation plan ahead of a severe weather event
- Include a plan for pets and add any transportation routes and destinations in the plan
- Prepare an emergency supply kits for both family members and pets ahead of time to take with you
- Stay out of floodwaters, if possible, and do not drive into flooded areas
- Always assume fallen power lines are energized and stay away from the area and report any downed lines to authorities immediately
- Unplug appliances and other electrical items to prevent damage from surges caused by lightning strikes
- If you evacuated, do not return to your home until local authorities say it is safe
- Plan two ways out of the house in case of an emergency. Clear the driveway and front walk of ice and snow.
- Make sure your house number can be seen from the street so firefighters will be able to find you
