Prepare for Tropical Storm Francine: Dent’s Tip and Prep Guide

As Tropical Storm Francine approaches, it’s important to stay prepared while keeping calm. At Dent Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing, we are dedicated to ensuring your family’s safety and comfort during severe weather. Here’s a storm emergency preparedness checklist to help you get ready:

Before the Storm:

  • Backup Power: Make sure your whole home standby generator is storm-ready by clearing debris and checking the fuel levels.
  • Secure Your Home: Protect your windows and doors with storm shutters or plywood. Trim trees and clean your gutters to reduce the risk of storm-related damage.
  • Stock Up: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and any necessary medications. Don’t forget pet supplies as well.
  • Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local weather updates and ensure you have an evacuation plan ready in case the situation escalates.

During the Storm:

  • Stay Indoors: Shelter in a secure, windowless room in your home. Keep your cell phone charged for emergency alerts and updates.
  • Generator Safety: Always operate portable generators outdoors, at least 20 feet away from your home, and keep them clear of windows and doors.
  • Power Tips: Unplug appliances to avoid power surges, and keep your refrigerator closed to preserve food.

After the Storm:

  • Safety First: Avoid downed power lines and flooded areas. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and contact local authorities.
  • Check Your Home: Inspect your home for damage, take photos for insurance purposes, and contact your insurance provider as soon as possible.
  • Check Your Generator: If your generator has been running, don’t forget to check the fuel and fluid levels. Topping off oil and refueling helps ensure your home stays powered until services are restored.
  • Emergency Services: Dent Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing provides emergency air conditioning, heating, plumbing, and generator installation services for those affected by Tropical Storm Francine. Our team is ready to assist with storm-related repairs, ensuring your home is safe and comfortable again.
