Peak Hurricane Season and Tree Service

9/3/2018

12 Comments

 
​September is the most active month of hurricane season. Most of you have been through it before and are prepared in the event another storm hits here. Below is a refresher for how to prepare for a hurricane.

Here is a basic hurricane prep kit:
  • one gallon of water per day per person
  • flashlight, batteries
  • three day supply of non-perishable food
  • pet food
  • baby supplies
  • prescription medicine
  • local map
  • first aid kit
  • dust mask
  • can opener
  • moist towelettes
  • whistle
  • battery powered radio
  • wrench/pliers

Prep kit extras:
  • tarps
  • duct tape
  • backup generators
  • extra gas cans
  • playing cards
  • full gas for vehicle
  • propane or charcoal grill
  • solar charge kit for phone

Inspect your trees today. If they appear unhealthy, contact an arborist. If they have dead branches, have them removed. Tree companies can get booked up once there are hurricane storm path models projecting your area being possible. Contact a tree service company sooner than later for better scheduling.
​
In the event of a hurricane, bring in outdoor furniture and potted plants. Board up windows and doors you deem necessary.
Charge all phones and tablets fully before a hurricane strikes. Charge extra battery kits also. Fill a bathtub with water to use for cleaning in case the water stops working. If there is an evacuation order, get out early. Traffic will cause gridlock quickly. We hope to avoid any hurricanes this seasons and hope you are safe in the event we do encounter one.

Thank you for reminding us to be prepared for a hurricane when we own a garden. It makes sense as some hurricanes can bring damage to our garden. I will definitely take your word for it and start planning a kit.

Storms can cause safety issues. So many people get hurt that are not qualified for <a href=“https://www.westatltree.com/”>tree removal</a>. Thanks for trying to get the word out!

Aside from the personal kits that need to be prepared when the hurricane is coming, check your surroundings and see if there are trees that need to be removed to avoid more damage to the house just in case.

Good pot. We do know that a professional contractor can make sure our home is safe during the storm and help us determine exactly which trees need to be removed, treated, or trimmed. Hurricane season may be upon us in the next couple months in revere ma. We'll try to follow our advice before calling for a tree removal service. Thanks for your share.
