Is Your Round Lake Beach Property Ready to Withstand a Summer Storm?
7/18/2023 (Permalink)
Storms can cause damage in Round Lake Beach at any time of the year, but there are some things that can be done to minimize the chances of property damage. Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams restore storm damage throughout the year and offer these tips from the National Weather Service (NWS) for preparing for strong winds:
- Trim tree branches away from your house and power lines
- Secure loose gutters and shutters
- Identify an interior room of your house, such as an interior bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings
- If you live in a mobile home, identify a sturdy building you can go to if the NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm warning
- Charge batteries of all essential items such as cell phones and booster packs, weather radios, and power tools such as a reciprocating saw, which you may need to clear debris
- Update your emergency kit and be sure to include enough food and water to last for three days for each person in your home
- Make a list of items outside your home you will need to tie down or put away so that they don’t blow over or fly away through a window. When NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm watch, immediately secure these items to avoid damage or injury once the wind starts picking up.
