Hurricanes can be devastating. Make sure you and your family are prepared and know you can have peace of mind that we are there for you 24 hours a day

Hurricane Season is June 1st through November 30th. Since it's right around the corner, SERVPRO of White Plains/ New Rochelle wants to help make sure you and your family are safe and prepared.

There are a few things you can do now to help reduce damage if there is a hurricane. Stock up on batteries and water, check to see if your flashlights are all working, and, if you have one, make sure your generator is in good working order.

  • Prepare an emergency supply kit
  • Clean out gutters and trim trees and shrubs
  • Inspect your roof, siding, foundation, and basement to identify areas that need to be repaired or replaced
  • Check that your sump pump is working

    • Before the Storm

  • Bring lawn furniture, trash cans, and toys inside
  • Cover windows with 5/8 inch plywood that's cut to fit and ready to install.
  • Fill your gas tank
  • Park car in a garage or next to a building to protect from wind and debris
  • Charge your cellphone and other electronics.

    • During a Storm

  • Listen to radio or tv for information
  • Avoid using phone except for emergencies
  • Stay inside unless you are told to evacuate
  • Stay away from windows and external doors
