Protect Your Family During Severe Weather

Protect Your Family During Severe Weather

Did you know that March is Severe Weather Preparation Month? 

While it may still feel like winter outside, it won’t be long until spring arrives.  And with it comes spring storms!  Is your family prepared?

First things first, make sure you have designated a safe place to go to if the weather gets bad.  It could be a basement, closet, or room with no windows or outside walls.  Make sure this space is cleared out enough that you could easily get your family inside if needed.  (You don’t want to be clearing out the closet if there is a tornado!)

Next, put together a small emergency kit.  What would you need if the power was out?  Consider putting in flashlights, extra batteries, canned food, and plenty of water.  (Don’t forget supplies for your pets too!)

Keep emergency phone numbers in your cell phone contacts, including the phone number for your insurance company!  You could even save a note in your phone with your policy numbers too.


While we can’t prevent bad weather, it’s always great to be as prepared as possible.  Take care of your family first and know that we’ll be there to protect your belongings.

Driving has become so complicated because as drivers; we need to be aware of other dangers that may cause us to make a quick decision and react even quicker. You need to be at your best before you get behind the wheel to drive. You shouldn’t drive if:
• You have vision or hearing issues. Make sure that your eyes and ears have been checked. Also remember to wear sunglasses on sunny days.
• If you’ve been drinking alcohol. Your judgment and reaction time could be affected with the smallest amount of liquor that is consumed.
• If you’re taking medications, whether prescribed by your doctor or over-the-counter, that makes your drowsy.
• If you’re under the influence of any illegal drug.
