Before the next round of storms hit Southern California, it is a good idea to ensure your home is ready for whatever Mother Nature has in store. Use these El Nino tips and your home insurance in Banning, CA to get ready.
- Getting ready for El Nino doesn't have to be difficult. Clearing out your rain gutters and making sure the weather stripping around your doors and windows will only take a few minutes and will work to keep water out of your house.
- If any crawl spaces in your house or your basement are susceptible to flooding, invest in a sump pump. You can learn more information about what sump pump will work best for your home online.
- As little as 12 inches of water can be enough to carry a small car away. Two feet of water is strong enough to carry away most vehicles. Never try to drive through flooded streets, even if the water doesn't look very deep.
- Being able to see the roads can help you stay safe. Invest in new headlights that illuminate the road. Swap out your windshield wipers that will work best to keep your windshield clear.
- Check your emergency kit to ensure it has everything you need. You can find guidelines of what your emergency kit should include online.
- Take a look at your downspouts to make sure that they are extending at least six feet from the wall of your basement to prevent any flooding.
