Preparing for a Major Storm on the Gulf Coast | SERVPRO® of Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport Hurricane season will be starting again in the next few months. Are you ready for it? If not, then you have time to prepare. Living as we do near the coast and in a part of the country that has been hit by hurricanes several times in recent memory, it’s smart to be sure you know what to do if a storm is predicted to hit Biloxi, Gulfport or Ocean Springs. Make Your Emergency Plan Here’s what you should do to get ready for the 2021 hurricane season. Know your evacuation route. It’s vital to know how you, your family and pets will safely get out of your home and area. You can find posted evacuation routes in most areas. Practice them. Pack your emergency kit. Essential documents, medications, eyeglasses and items needed for you and your pets should all find a place in your emergency kit. Be sure these items are in places where you can grab them easily. Consider including non-perishable food items (like granola bars and bottled water) and flashlights, too. Secure your home. If you have time, securing your home should be part of it. Shutter or cover your windows, secure your outdoor furniture and your home. Also, take an inventory of valuables in your home to have them quickly if you need to file an insurance claim. Don’t wait to leave. If your neighborhood is ordered to evacuate the area, get out as soon as possible and move inland.
