Windstorm Preparation Tips for Forest Grove Residents?

5/2/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Washington County.

Our Hillsboro and Forest Grove teams have been helping people in Forest Grove with wind damage for many years. Windstorms can cause severe property damage, but here are things you can do to protect yourself and your property before the storm hits. Here are some tips from the Oregon Health Authority for things you can do before a windstorm happens:

• Contact your local emergency management office or the Portland-based National Weather Service office to find out what types of storms are most likely to occur in your community
• Assemble an emergency kit and make a family communication plan
• If you have a home generator, make sure you know how to use it safely. Follow all instructions and contact the vendor, if necessary. Improper use of a generator can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Find out who in your area might need special assistance, such as the elderly, disabled, and non-English-speaking neighbors
• Check with your veterinarian for animal care instructions in an emergency situation
• If you live on a coastal or inland shoreline, be familiar with evacuation routes
• Know what emergency plans are in place at your workplace, school, and daycare center
• Conduct a home safety evaluation to find out which nearby trees could fall in a windstorm
• If you have an electric garage door opener, locate the manual override
