Many injuries occur in the aftermath of a tropical storm and hurricane. And, as the 2021 Hurricane Season progresses, now is a vital time to know all of the ways you and your neighbors can stay safe. The following are some tips you can follow to stay safe if a hurricane hits your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do After a Hurricane Strikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remain inside until local authorities say it is safe to go outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you must go outside, beware of fallen objects and downed electrical wires. In Florida, you can report downed power lines to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fpl.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Florida Power &amp; Light<\/a> at <a href=\"tel:18004OUTAGE\">1-800-4OUTAGE<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inspect your home for damage to ensure that it is safe to stay there. Specifically, check for gas leaks and potentially dangerous trees and structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact your insurance agent. When doing this, take pictures of the damage and keep good records of repair and cleanup costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay out of areas with extensive flood damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t open manhole covers to drain flooded roadways. This could overburden the sewer system and cause a backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you live in an area where residential and commercial use areas (such as plant nurseries) are located near each other, be sure to keep residential and commercial debris separated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your property isn&#8217;t near a curb or a public right-of-way, or if you live in a community with private roads, do not move debris to the curb until instructed to do so by government officials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact PuroClean of Aventura and Davie For Property Damage Restoration Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If and when disaster strikes your home or business, call the restoration experts at PuroClean.
