Storm Preparation in San Antonio

8/22/2018 (Permalink)

Living in this beautiful Alamo City, we often just think of the sun and hot temperatures.  However, we do get strong thunderstorms that bring heavy rain, winds that cause damage, and potential flooding.  We have even had hurricane warnings as recent as last year with Hurricane Harvey.  Although we didn't get hit by the Harvey, it is important to always be prepared.

An important part of preparation for any storm event is to know what each weather term means.  The most common weather terms associated with significant storms include watch, warning, and advisory.  Definitions of these terms can be found at the link provided.  These terms and their definitions will help you to decide what to do if the alerts are issued.

Another key to preparation is ensuring that you have supplies ready and available.  An emergency kit that is well stocked can make a world of difference in extreme weather.  For tips on what to put in this kit visit Ready.gov.  It is important to remember your pets too and prepare a kit that includes any supplies they need.  Supplies during times of disaster can be life saving.

Finally, if a disaster strikes and your home or office is affected you should have a plan for who can help.  Alamo Heights stands ready to help deal with the aftermath of any storm damage.  For commercial properties, we offer a free Emergency Ready Plan to help plan for potential disasters.  Call us today at (210) 822-2063 to discuss or if you have any storm damage.
