Preparing your home for severe weather

You can't stop severe weather and high winds, but you can be prepared. Appliances-Anchor your major appliances with sturdy "L-brackets" to the walls or counter-tops. Utilities-Learn how to shut off the electricity, water and gas. Windows-Consider replacing older windows with modern impact-resistant glass. Hazardous objects-Keep your yard free of shovels, bikes and other lose articles.
