Preparing For Unexpected Weather

If anything this past week has taught us Texans is that we need to be prepared for the weather, cold or hot you can’t be too cautious. Emergencies happen, and it’s important to know what to do in case one happens. Eagle Ford Village has created an emergency checklist for you and your home to help you better prepare when the emergency hits.

Preparing For Unexpected Weather

Insurance

It’s important to have an insurance plan in place for your home or apartment and the things inside it. In case of a flood or weather damage from a storm, you can rest easy knowing that your items are protected. Go over your insurance policy each year to make sure you are covered.

Know The Signs

Living in South Texas we can often tell the early signs that a bad storm is coming. Snow can hit us hard and fast, and often times leave us without access to the roads. Be sure to know the signs of a storm, so you have time to prepare.

Remove Equipment You Need

Remove any disaster equipment you need before things get bad. This means snow shovels, snow blowers, salt etc. By removing these items in time it means that you won’t run the risk of them being trapped inside your garage or home.

Know What’s Inside Your Home

Specifically if you have any temperature sensitive items, remove them before the snow storms hit. The extreme and sudden cold are a recipe for disaster on your items. Winterizing your pipes the best you can is a key item you should look at.

Emergency Equipment on hand

Sometimes sudden weather hits too fast and no amount of warning can help. This is why you should have a disaster kit on hand all the time. Food, water and a light source is a great start. Make sure your food won’t go bad, and you have spare batteries.

Don’t let emergencies ruin your home and items. Preparing for weather when the unexpected happens is the most important thing. Contact us today for more information about our homes and suites.
