Experts remind homeowners that a plan can make the difference between survival and waiting for help.
This comes on the heels a string of disasters that have ravaged the country (think winter storms Nemo or Dion, Gemini or hurricanes Sandy and Sandy) and highlights the importance of being prepared.
“Ice and severe winter stormsStorm Survival Systems owner Jason Kawell says that it is possible to knock out power in a matter of seconds. This family-owned business helps homeowners and businesses prepare for the worst. “After Hurricane Sandy, millions waited for weeks just to get critical fuel supplies. What options will you have to protect yourself?”
These are some storm-readiness tips that will help you protect your home and business.
* Have a disaster plan. Establish a meeting spot and find escape routes from your business or home. If you are a homeowner, find out where shelters can be found (should you need to evacuate), and then ask an out-of state relative or friend to serve as your point of contact.
* Put together a disaster-survival kit. You should have a few extra batteries and a flashlight, as well as a battery-operated radio and a portable one. Make sure your car is fully charged and ready for action.
* Prepare before it matters. Storm Survival Systems, an American-made company, offers storm shelters and portable fuel systems. These are invaluable in times of emergency. “During a storm, the last thing you want to worry about is power,” says Kawell. Kawell says that the company’s products adhere to strict FEMA guidelines. They are custom-made and can fit existing generators, keeping costs down. Additionally, the fuel produced is clean and efficient in powering the existing generator.
