Invest In Quality Treatments

Start by investing in high-quality window treatments specifically designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris. At Savannah Blinds we deliver the best in storm protection treatments from top notch brands like Progressive, Fortified, and Atlantic. Opt for hurricane-rated shutters or storm panels that offer superior protection for your windows which act as a barrier against strong winds and debris, minimizing the risk of window breakage and interior damage.

Secure Outdoor Furniture

Prior to the arrival of a hurricane, secure outdoor furniture, decor and any other loose objects that could become projectiles in high winds. Anchor or store these items in a safe location to prevent them from causing damage to your home or neighboring properties during the storm. Additionally, consider investing in sturdy outdoor covers to protect furniture from wind and water damage.

Trim Trees And Shrubs

Overhanging branches and untrimmed shrubs can pose a threat to your home during a storm, especially if they're close to windows or power lines. Before hurricane season begins, trim trees and shrubs to remove any dead or weak branches that could potentially fall and cause damage. This proactive step will reduce the risk of tree-related damage to your home and help keep a clear evacuation route.

Create A Storm Preparedness Plan

Develop a comprehensive storm preparedness plan that includes evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and essential supplies. Familiarize yourself with local procedures and shelters, and stay up to date with news channels that will supply additional information. Consider installing a generator to maintain power during outages and stock up on emergency supplies such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, and batteries.
