It can come as a shock to see such heavy amounts of snow in the middle of spring. Nevertheless, SERVPRO is prepared as always to respond to its local community to ensure a swift and efficient clean up.

With heavy snow comes broken limbs, and broken limbs lead to downed power lines.

When a snow storm comes in, make sure you do the following

Before

• Purchase a reliable shovel
• Purchase batteries in the event of a power outage
• Purchase salt to deice your walkway and driveway
• Stock up on fuel if you have a generator
• Charge your electronics and handheld devices
• Have a decent supply of non-perishables

During

• If power is lost make sure to keep your refrigerator closed to lessen the chance of your food spoiling
• Stay inside
• Stay warm with blankets and extra layers
