1. Home Hurricane Safety Tips

2. Outside the Home
✘ Move all items that could blow around into your home or garage-
including garbage cans, patio furniture, and grills.
✘ Replace landscaping gravel or rock with shredded bark which will
cause less damage when airborne.
✘ Cover the pool pump filter if you have one.

3. Garage
✘ Store all vehicles in your garage. Moor
your boat. Anchor the doors.
✘ Consider hurricane-resistant doors or a
steel bracing kit to help protect against
high winds.
✘ Have a door technician inspect your
door to determine what options are
available to you.

4. Windows
✘ Your windows should have permanent, impact-
resistant shutters with fasteners for easier
installation and removal of protective panels.
✘ Panels should be at least 3/4" thick for best
protection.

5. Doors
● Entrance and exit doors should have
three hinges and a dead bolt lock with at
least one inch of bolt throw so it does not
come unbolted with heavy shaking.
● Anchor door frames to the walls with
fasteners that are at least 3" long.
● Get tempered glass patio doors.
Home Exterior
● Have a roofing expert examine your
shingles.
● They may need extra cement to keep them
from peeling off and flying.
● Caulk any cracks or holes where wires,
pipes, or cables come into the house.
