Thriving on Solutions.
Since 1989, FWH Associates provides innovative solutions
for residential and commercial projects from initial
investigation to full-scale design and execution.
it, move items from the basement to another level of the
home, or at least elevate them. There is often less cover-
age in flood insurance policies for items damaged on the
lowest level of the home. Stay informed about the path of
the storm so that you can be ready if or when it arrives in
your area. Listen to the news and radio; if it is suggested
that you leave your home for a safer area, do not hesitate
to do so. During a snowstorm emergency, it is also benefi-
cial to create an emergency kit. Keep this one in your car,
and include in it a shovel,
flashlight, batteries, water,
matches, a first-aid kit, emer-
gency flares, and a blanket.
Fire can also occur when
you least expect it, caus-
ing extensive damage in its
path. Fires can be catalyzed
by a variety of elements,
including electrical bursts, negligence around the house,
space heaters, cooking negligence, etc. First, make sure
that you have carbon monoxide detectors and functional
fire alarms in every room of your property. Checking the
batteries at least twice yearly is imperative. Fire alarms
with flashing lights are available for hearing impaired
individuals, as well. Additionally, make a fire safety plan
and practice it with everyone living in or working on the
property. This plan should include multiple escape routes
and hypothetical scenarios, such as if the front door is
blocked, which windows are escapable? Of course, if
cooking, stay in the kitchen when the stove and oven are
in use. Keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and any
other room where there is flame or inflammatory activity/
work occurring.
We cannot control natural disasters, but we can and
should take measures to minimize personal loss and dam-
ages. Having proper insurance and unique plans for possi-
ble situations will help prepare you for the next emergency
event. Take the time to make emergency preparedness a
priority for you, your family, and your business today.
