As Greenville enters the peak of hurricane season, being prepared is crucial for safety. SERVPRO® of Greenville is here to provide insights, support, and restoration services should you face storm damage. Here’s an in-depth look at what you need to know:

Before the Storm:

• Know Your Risk: Research Greenville's flood zones, elevation, and historical hurricane impact. Stay alert with local weather warnings. Check county Government sites for flood zone information and other useful flood tips. 
• Secure Your Home: Strengthen windows, doors, and roofs. Trim trees, clear gutters, and install storm shutters if possible.
• Communication Plan: Make a detailed emergency plan for family members, including pets.
• Essential Supplies: Stock water, food, batteries, medicines, important documents, and hygiene items.

When the Storm Hits:

• Stay Safe Inside: Avoid windows, shelter in a room without windows, and stay on high ground if flooding occurs.
• Don’t Risk Travel: Driving or walking through floodwaters is extremely dangerous.
• Constant Updates: Use battery-powered radios or apps to follow local weather and emergency information.
