The Storm is Here but SERVPRO is Fast to Act with Flooding Clean Up in Largo

Hurricanes are unpredictable and powerful, but you can prepare your home & vehicle to lessen the impact hopefully. Largo residents who have their emergency contacts and disaster supply checklist ready will be ahead of the game, especially if SERVPRO is on that contact list!

Prior to a weather event like a hurricane in Largo, it is best to put together an emergency kit. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has recommended including some of the following items:

• First aid kit
• Non-perishables and water, enough to last three days
• A flashlight and additional batteries
• Your cell phone, extra charger, or power bank
• A whistle to call for help, and more

Should you decide to stay in your Largo home during the hurricane, you must always practice portable generator safety. Important notes to remember:

• You should always keep a portable generator outside
• Any fuel or combustibles should be kept a safe distance from the unit
• Never add more fuel to your generator while it is turned on
• Speak with a licensed electrician in the Largo area about wiring modifications
