Stay safe with these six simple tricks to prepare your home for all storms. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy Supplies For A Hurricane Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start thinking about your hurricane supplies early in the season when supplies are readily available. Buying ahead and creating a hurricane kit will save you some stress when bad weather is coming your way. We listed some essentials below that you should collect in a weather-proof plastic container.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/checklist1.png\" alt=\"Checklist\" class=\"wp-image-8789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/checklist1.png 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/checklist1-300x149.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure Your Roof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/roof-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Roof\" class=\"wp-image-25794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/roof-edited.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/roof-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/roof-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an important prepping step you don\u2019t want to miss. Any hurricane wind can easily damage your roof, so you want to make sure your roof is secured to the best of its ability. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To minimize wind damage, replace missing shingles and make sure to secure loose shingles by hammering in fresh nails. You can also use a caulking gun to add roof cement to the edge of your roof. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida requires roof straps, but many other states that are constantly hit by hurricanes don\u2019t. To help strengthen your roof and make it more wind-resistant, attach your roof to attic walls with metal roof straps. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seal Housing Holes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Home\" class=\"wp-image-25796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-edited.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the seals on your windows and doors.

You can either seal the holes with a simple caulking gun (available at most hardware stores) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/m\/featured\/general-handyman?utm_source=org_soc&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_campaign=hurricane&amp;utm_content=0&amp;utm_term=handyman\">book a Tasker<\/a> to help you do it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing Your Yard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/outdoor-furniture-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-25797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/outdoor-furniture-edited.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/outdoor-furniture-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/outdoor-furniture-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your yard for anything that could easily get tossed in a hurricane.

In the days leading up to a hurricane, make and store as much ice as possible to keep your fridge and freezer cool in case of an outage. You can fill Tupperware containers with water to maximize ice. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back up your computers and other electronics, then power down the devices before the storm hits. Charge batteries, phones, and any other electronics you think you might need to use during an outage. You can also look into purchasing a solar-powered generator that can power everything from small handheld electronics to entire homes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurricane season can be alarming and scary, but with Taskrabbit, it doesn\u2019t have to be as stressful.
