SERVPRO of Brunswick professionals have the experience, training and equipment to help you after a storm.

Here at SERVPRO of Brunswick, we want you to be safe during the 2021 hurricane season. We’re sharing some guidelines for you today so that you can be ready if and when a hurricane hits the area.

Before a hurricane:

Sign up for local alerts and warnings and monitor local news and weather reports.

Prepare for a possible evacuation by testing your emergency communication plan with your loved ones in advance.

Make sure everyone knows evacuation routes and designated safe places to stay.

Stock emergency supplies, and pack to-go bags.
Collect all important documents and safeguard them.

During a hurricane:

Follow all guidance from your local authorities.

If you are advised to evacuate, grab your to-go bag and your loved ones and leave immediately.

Stay away from windows and shelter on the lowest level in an interior room, moving to higher ground if there is flooding or a flood warning.

Never walk or drive on flooded roads or through water.

Call 9-1-1 if your life is threatened.
After a hurricane:

Only return to the area of your home when authorities say it is safe to do so.

Do not enter damaged buildings until they are inspected by qualified professionals.

Never walk or drive on flooded roads or through floodwaters.

Keep an eye out for downed trees, power lines, and poles.

Protect your hands and feet with gloves and sturdy shoes.

When cleaning up, do not remove heavy debris by yourself.

Do not drink tap water until local authorities have approved its safety.

Since we are locally owned and operated, we are able to respond quicker with the right resources, which is extremely important. A fast response lessens the damage, limits further damage, and reduces the restoration cost.
