Here are some helpful tips that can keep you and your property safe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heed any directives from national, state or local governments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with receiving key updates on the storm, there may be safety protocols put in place to assist everyone in remaining safe during the storm.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secure any outside equipment and personal property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Outside personal property can become dangerous debris when high winds strike. Bring anything that is easy to carry inside for safety. Don\u2019t hurt yourself! If something is too big to carry, secure and anchor it safely to a deck or post.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay away from windows during the storm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Glass breakage during a storm is a serious concern.\u00a0 Keep away from these vulnerable areas during a storm and consider covering them or closing storm shutters.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your family and pets inside during the storm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The winds may not look dangerous, but tree limbs can come down without any warning and there may be live downed power lines. Please notify your local utility company of any downed wires and do not approach hazardous situations.\u00a0 Heavy rains can create flash flood situations quickly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep extra food, water, and batteries on hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you must shelter in place for any amount of time, you want to ensure that you have enough supplies, lights and communication devices prepared.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice generator safety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the event you have a generator and use it when power is out, please fully read all safety warnings and run them in a well-ventilated area away from the home.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you do suffer property damage, please take reasonable steps to protect the property from additional damage when it is safe to do so.\u00a0 Please take photographs and save any receipts related to your loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few tips that can keep you safe during the storm. Remember, focus on your safety first during a storm.\u00a0 Do your best to protect your home, but don\u2019t risk your health in the process.\u00a0 Thank you for placing your trust in Quincy Mutual.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing is more important at Quincy Mutual than the health and safety of our insureds.\u00a0 Hurricane Lee could impact the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[859],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
