National Home Improvement Expert Danny Lipford Encourages Homeowners to “Hunker Down” and Prepare for Hurricane Season
Mobile, AL (PRWEB) June 03, 2015 -- Danny Lipford, America’s leading home expert and media personality for the Today’s Homeowner Brand, launched his annual campaign for storm preparedness yesterday with a nationally televised Satellite Media Tour titled “Hunker Down for Hurricane Season.” With over 10 years of experience as the go-to hurricane prep expert for the Weather Channel, CBS This Morning, Fox Business and CNN, Danny efficiently explained the crucial steps that homeowners need to take now to be prepared.
As a lifetime resident of the Gulf Coast himself, Danny has personally seen the devastation that can result when a hurricane strikes. “It’s easy to feel a little helpless when a hurricane is headed your way. The one thing you can do to take control of the situation is to make the proper preparations to protect your home and keep your family comfortable. Planning in advance of a storm can help save time, money and provide peace of mind when it really counts.”
During the Tour, Danny addressed key strategies for homeowners to tackle before, during, and after a storm strikes.
In advance:
• Get organized. Gather key information and supplies you will need in the event of a storm strike or evacuation. (paperwork, phone numbers, evacuation plan, emergency supply kit)
• Prepare the home by clearing gutters, downspouts and surface drains to prevent water backflow and damage. Trim any limbs close to the home.
• Purchase or test and tune up generator.
When a storm is approaching:
• Secure anything outdoors that could become airborne.
• Cover all windows and doors.
• Finalize plans for possible evacuation. (fill car with gas, charge phones and devices)
In the aftermath:
• Ensure roof, windows and doors are secure or covered to prevent further damage.
• Photograph all damage and contact insurance company.
• Use caution when operating generators and cleaning up around power lines.
