How Do You Prepare A Safe Room For A Hurricane?

0

With a hurricane headed your way, its time to prepare a safe room if you are not in an evacuation zone. Preparing a safe room well in advance of the hurricane will help keep you and your family safe during the storm. Step 1 Select the safe room. The best place for a safe room is a small room without windows in the center of your home. A large walk-in closet is an ideal safe room. A bathroom will also work if it has no windows or just a small window. Step 2 Start with the basics. Remove as many clothes as necessary from the closet. Make enough room for your family, pets and supplies needed for the few hours that the hurricane is making landfall. If the safe room will be a bathroom, remove bottles from counter tops and cover the window with plywood. Step 3 Bring a mattress into the safe room if it is large enough. The mattress can be used to sit on and to cover yourselves should extra protection become necessary. If the bathroom is to be used as a safe room, place the mattress in the tub
