SERVPRO of Valdosta is ready to help with fire, water and storm damage

If you have lived in Georgia long enough you are not surprised to read headlines like, "Powerful storms roll through southeast Georgia, leaving damage along the way."

Is your home ready for the next round of storms?

While hurricane season is not for several months, it's important to note, 55 hurricanes have been recorded in the Valdosta, GA since 1930. That's not a large number compared to other areas, but you and your family should still prepare.

Recent violent storms prompted tornado watches and warnings for parts of several states. Preparing for a tornado is different than preparing for a hurricane.

In addition to checking forecasts and signing up for notifications, the National Weather Service also recommends:

Practice Your Plan: Conduct a family severe thunderstorm drill regularly so everyone knows what to do if a tornado is approaching. Make sure all members of your family know to go there when tornado warnings are issued. Don't forget pets if time allows.

Prepare Your Home: Consider having your safe room reinforced. You can find plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website.

Help Your Neighbor: Encourage your loved ones to prepare for the possibility of tornadoes. Take CPR training so you can help if someone is hurt.
