Default Sandy Storm Preparation

I thought I would pass along some tips on storm preparedness as Sandy is about to converge on NH. For a more comprehensive list I suggest going to FEMA website:

Learn about your community's emergency plans, warning signals, evacuation routes, and locations of emergency shelters.
Identify potential building hazards and know how to secure or protect them before hurricane strikes. Be prepared to turn of electrical power when there is standing water, fallen power lines, or before you evacuate. Turn off gas and water supplies if you have to evacuate. Secure structurally unstable building materials.
Locate and secure your important papers and data, such as insurance policies.
Assess the exterior of the building and surrounding areas to ensure that landscaping, trees and / or signage do not become a wind hazard.
Establish a plan for window and door protection.

Should you have water intrusion into your home or camp make sure there is no threat of electrical shock before removing it.
Water should be completely removed and wet area should be dried thoroughly to avoid the possibility of future mold growth.

I hope you found this information helpful and should you have questions or need consultation please feel free to contact Rob Stewart at All Brite Cleaning & Restoration, Inc. 603-524-4889

Do your laundry before the storm hits. If you lose power it may be a while before you can do it again and the laundry-mats will be jammed.
