For many people, when a storm hits the aftermath may include debris, flood waters, power outages, shattered glass and damages to your home. Here are a few tips to help save your home and keep your family safe.

• Avoid an Electrical Disaster - With heavy rain, flooding in inevitable. If water makes it way into your home, make sure the power is turned off even if there is a widespread power outage. Locate your fuse box and turn your main breakers off.
• Be Prepared with Protective Gear - Be sure to wear protective clothing like rubber boots and gloves. You will be wading through water that has met many foreign objects and substances including chemicals, sewage and garbage.
• Have your Insurance Policy Easily Accessible - Call your insurance company and document all damage. Homeowners insurance coverage varies depending on your policy but most have an option to cover flooding due to acts of nature.
