A monsoon can bring powerful winds, heavy rains, and dramatic lightning to your local area. If you live in the state of Arizona, you will need to make sure that you know what to do in the event that a monsoon hits your property this summer. With a few safety tips, you can keep your family safe and protect your landscaping and home from experiencing too much damage. Let’s review some essential monsoon safety tips for the summer season.
Cut Down Dangerous Branches
Before the next monsoon hits your neighborhood, consider contacting a landscaping company to schedule tree trimming for your mature trees. Any tree branches that are hanging over your roof could pose a safety threat in monsoon conditions. By cutting off these hanging branches, you will keep them from flying off during a massive storm.
Check Your Drainage System
The drainage system in your yard will be your home’s best defense against flooding conditions during a monsoon. At the beginning of the summer, you should always check to make sure that your drainage system is free and clear of blockages. You may also want to consider the benefits of installing a new gutter and drain spout system along your roofline.
Keep Emergency Numbers Handy
When you are caught in a monsoon, the last thing that you will want to do is scramble to find the phone number of the nearest emergency service. To prepare your home for monsoon season, write down a list of the essential emergency numbers that you may need to call during a storm. By knowing where to report a downed power line or flood, you will be able to act fast in the midst of major damage.
