2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season: How to Protect Your Home?

Get ready for the upcoming storms and cyclones! 

One of the most common challenges for those of us who live near the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea is being always ready for tropical storms and cyclones. However, protecting your home from hurricanes doesn't have to be an overwhelming task. Just pushing a button could be enough to deploy an entire security system.

Here is a list of three simple actions you can take to protect the windows and doors of your house from strong hurricane winds

How to prepare for hurricane season 2021?

• Check the reports from the National Hurricane Center regularly

The only advantage that hurricanes give us over other natural events is that they can be anticipated. In other words, unlike an earthquake, in the event of tropical cyclones, we can have a contingency plan to stay home, safe and sound

One way to reduce the potential danger caused by hurricanes is to monitor the Atlantic basin. Make sure to keep an eye on the page of the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) if you live in Mexico. If you live in the US, Canada or other countries in the Caribbean, keep track of the reports issued by the local authorities and also by the National Hurricane Center of the United States.

• Make a contingency plan

Planning is key to protect your home from hurricanes. Talking to all the people who live with you about what actions you should take before, during and after a tropical storm will allow you to go through the hurricane season safely.

Some basic aspects you should include in your contingency plan are:

• • Buy in advance canned food, drinking water and other goods that you will use during and after the storm
  • Assign specific tasks to protect your home to every family member
  • Designate a safe room in case a door or window breaks during the storm
  • Keep battery powered emergency lamps and a radio in store

• Protect your windows in advance

This is the most important aspect to be taken care of. If you make your house storm proof, you will guarantee the safety of your family. Have professionals install a hurricane protection system at your home and you will only have to push a button to roll down your hurricane shutters or to slide your storm panels to shield all your windows and doors. Aluminum shutters are a great option to protect your loved ones and your assets too.

Aluminum anticyclonic curtains and screens are a great alternative to keep your home safe. They install in minutes, are discreet and ready to use whenever you need them.
