National Preparedness Month: Is Your Property Storm Ready?

Zack Klein • September 2, 2026

September is National Preparedness Month, making it the perfect time to make sure your home or business is ready for severe weather. 


High winds and heavy rain can quickly lead to roof damage, water intrusion, and costly property damage. A little preparation now can make a big difference later. 


Prepare Before the Storm 


Before severe weather arrives: 

  • Secure outdoor furniture and loose items. 
  • Clear gutters and downspouts. 
  • Trim dead or damaged tree limbs. 
  • Check for visible roof damage, including loose or missing shingles. 
  • Secure windows and exterior doors. 
  • Keep insurance information and emergency contact accessible. 
  • Take current photos of your property for documentation. 


Your roof is one of your property’s first lines of defense against severe weather. If you notice existing damage, contact a qualified roofing professional before the next storm.
