Not too crisp for a hurricane

4/29/2013 (Permalink)

With crisper temperatures upon us, it's easy to forget that when it comes to hurricanes, we aren't out of the woods yet. Hurricane season doesn't officially end until November 30 -- so stay prepared and also remember that disasters come in all shapes and sizes and can strike at any time.

As a U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Preparedness Coalition member, SERVPRO® is committed to promoting preparedness planning and providing community resources to help prepare for emergency or disaster situations.

These tips apply to all types of disasters - whether earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, blizzards, or wildfires.

SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals want to help spread the important message on preparation to all areas and communities, no matter which corner of the country you call home. Whether you live on the East Coast, Gulf Coast, the West Coast, or anywhere in between, contact your local SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals for resources to help protect your home and business.
