| Protect your family & your home with these unique survival solutions : |
 |
Store Valuables in Dishwasher:Dishwashers are waterproof and securely latched, making them a safe place to store valuables and important documents.  |
| Fill Your Washing Machine with Ice: Fill your washing machine with ice and use it as a cooler for drinks, perishable items or refrigerated medications. The water will drain as the ice melts.  |
| Seal Important Documents or Photos: Seal important documents or photos in waterproof bags and place them in containers to protect them from water damage.  |
| Fill Your Bathtub: Use this water for sanitation and flushing toilets if the water supply is disrupted.  |
| Adjust Fridge & Freezer Settings: Set your fridge & freezer settings to the coldest temperature. This will help keep your food cold for a longer period if the power goes out.  |
| Use Pool Noodles to Prevent Damage & Flooding: Secure pool noodles at the bottom of garage doors and other entry points to help block water from seeping in. Pool noodles can also be cut and secured around the corners of outdoor furniture such as glass tables to prevent damage.  |
| Freeze Bags of Water: Fill plastic bags with water & freeze them. If the power goes out, you can place them in your fridge to keep all perishable foods cold.  |
 Home Insurance Tips: Photograph Your Home BEFORE:Take photos of your home and its contents for insurance purposes. This can expedite the claims process if there’s damage. Document Damage Immediately:Take photos and videos of any damage for insurance claims before you start cleaning up. Mark Flood Levels:Mark the highest point where the water reached inside and outside your home. This can be useful for insurance adjusters. |
