Inspect Your Roof & Gutters โ Check for loose shingles and clean out gutters to prevent water damage.

Reinforce Doors & Windows โ Consider installing storm shutters or impact-resistant glass for extra protection.
Check Your Sump Pump & Backup Generator โ Heavy rains can lead to flooding; ensure your sump pump is working properly and have a generator ready in case of power outages.
Review Your Insurance Policy โ Make sure you have adequate coverage for storm-related damage, especially for wind and flooding.
