It is Hurricane season…be prepared.

“Preventing the loss of life and minimizing the damage to property from hurricanes are responsibilities that are shared by all.”

Now is the time to research and gain information on what actions you can take based on specific hurricane hazards. The most important thing that you can do is to be informed and prepared. Disaster prevention includes both being prepared as well as reducing damages.

One of the most important actions a home owner can take now is to trim or prune surrounding trees. After Hurricane Ike, many of our trees in Houston suffered tremendously. Ike created such stress that we are still seeing the effects today, making our trees vulnerable to disease and weakness. The best thing right now before the next major storm is to prune or trim off any dead or weak branches. Make sure there are no weak or brittle branches that could fall on top of a roof, yours or a neighbors, creating severe damage.

Disaster Prevention should include:

• Developing a Family Plan
• Creating a Disaster Supply Kit
• Having a Place to Go
• Securing your Home
• Having a Pet Plan
