Hurricanes seem like a yearly occurrence, and it’s not always easy to know what we can do to get ready for them. You often hear stories about hurricanes decimating mobile homes, and you naturally don’t want to see that happen to your home or possessions. Here are some helpful tips for preparing your mobile home for a hurricane that can help you mitigate or prevent the damage.
Protecting Doors and Windows
It’s always important to ensure that your doors and windows are as safe as possible from the high amounts of wind and rain that come with a hurricane. We recommend buying and installing a storm door on the front of your home before hurricane season hits. To avoid shattering glass from broken windows, many homeowners install storm shutters. If you’re looking for a more cost-effective solution, nailing down sheets of plywood can add a strong layer of protection too.
Having Backup Power
Power outages are common during hurricane season, and many areas may go up to a week or longer with no electricity. Having a source of backup power before a hurricane hits is vital. Many homeowners buy generators and stock up on fuel so that they can turn it on or off as necessary. Other people may invest in solar energy systems as a source of energy.
Preparing an Emergency Kit
One of the most crucial things in preparing your mobile home for a hurricane is to have a well-stocked emergency preparedness kit. Here are just a few items you should have just in case a hurricane hits.
- Flashlight with spare batteries
- Radio
- Cell phone chargers and power banks
- Tool kit, including wrenches, screwdrivers, and hammers
- Fire extinguisher
- First aid kit with bandages, painkillers, and ice packs
- Bug spray
- Enough water for everyone
- Non-perishable food
- Waterproof bags for important documents
Gathering essentials before a hurricane comes can help ensure that you and your family are safe in place through a prolonged power outage and that your important documents won’t suffer any damage in the rain.
