Keeping Your Family Safe: Hurricane Tips

 Jacksonville’s CENTURY 21 Lighthouse Realty provides a check list you cannot ignore!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., October 5, 2016 – Providing expert professional real estate services for more than 30 years, CENTURY 21 Lighthouse Realty wants you and your family to be safe during hurricane season. Their team has come up with a top ten list of important reminders for residents on the First Coast,

 CENTURY 21 Lighthouse Realty’s TOP TEN hurricane tips:

Timing is everything…you always have less time than you think to be prepared.

Prepare for the worst, be ready for the worst. Don’t skimp on preparations.

Secure any possible projectiles or equipment and remove them from your yard, patio, porch or pool.

Have your hurricane shutters, garage door braces or other protective devices in place.

Ensure your car has a full tank of gas, you have adequate hurricane supplies and necessary wood panels for boarding up windows, glass panels and doors.

Have an evacuation plan – property is insured and replaceable, human life is not.

Ready your “safe room” if you plan on staying in your home: Have water, food, medicines, flash lights, batteries and a radio.

Secure your pets – be sure to have an ample supply of food and water for them.

Make a list of your emergency contacts, secure all important documents, bank statements and title deeds etc in a sealed water proof bag.

Avoid the rush! Don’t wait till the last minute.

“Your home is your most precious asset and largest investment, but the reality is, homes can be replaced. Protecting your family comes first,” said Jeff Burgess, Broker and Principal owner of Jacksonville’s newly formed CENTURY 21 Lighthouse Realty.  “Losing a home to a natural disaster can be devastating. It is our hope that our TOP TEN tips will help keep your family safe.”

It is beyond the scope of our agreement to provide rescue and recovery services in the event of catastrophic loss.   Please make sure your insurance policy is up to date and sufficient to cover any loss and consult your agent or file a claim should you suffer loss.
