It feels as if we are constantly prepping for a storm - whether that is a hurricane, thunderstorm, or even the rare winter storm that passes through the southern part of Georgia.

Our team at SERVPRO headquarters (HQ) has put together a list of basic household items you may want to keep in stock and store in a weather proof, safe place in case you find yourself in an emergency storm situation. We encourage checking on your items every 3 months to ensure they are in working order and haven't passed the expiration date.

Suggested items:

Water- one gallon per person for at least three days.
Food- at least a three day supply of non-perishable food.
Battery powered or hand crank radio
Flashlight.
Extra batteries.
Candles.
Phone chargers.
Road flares.
Rain ponchos.
Tarp.
Wet wipes.
A whistle to signal for help.

When you get caught in a storm, damage to your home is likely. It could be from a limb on your tree or rain leaking through a window. If you see any damage to your home due to a storm, call us at 912.445.5190 so we can help you through the mitigation process.
