With the impending arrival of Hurricane Igor the public is urged to prepare now, in advance while weather conditions allow. Here are some tips to help secure your home prior to the storm:

ROOF AND TANK

• Block the gutters with clean rags or other device to prevent any leaves, salt
• and other contamination from entering your water tank.

WINDOWS & DOORS

• Installing storm shutters over all exposed windows and other glass surfaces is
• one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your home. Cover all
• windows, French doors, sliding glass doors and skylights. Plywood shutters
• that you make yourself, if installed properly, can offer a high level of protectionfrom flying debris during a hurricane.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE & ORNAMENTS

• Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, toys and garden tools;
• anchor objects that cannot be brought inside but that could be wind-tossed.
• Remove outdoor antennas, if possible.
