Estero, Florida Water Damage

Top Ten Estero Hurricane Tips

The first time you prepare for a Estero hurricane or Estero tropical storm may be a hassle but after that it’s a snap.

Most things are usually on hand but should be stocked up and easily accessible. If it turns out the Estero hurricane has changed its path, at least you will have known you were ready.

If Estero is in imminent danger of a Estero hurricane, most likely evacuation announcements have been made, and should be taken seriously. Here is a checklist to consider before you leave:

1. First, get important papers and special photos in order and secured in plastic. Identification is difficult and time-consuming to replace: so be sure to include social security cards, birth certificates, high school diplomas or GED certificates, titles or deeds to property. Photos of special occasions or loved ones cannot be replaced, so including these is important as well.

2. Think ahead and take video or photos of your Estero property before you leave. This will help later on with any insurance checklist claims for Estero damage that may need to be filed.

3. Gas up your car early. If you cannot stay with relatives book a room out of the projected path Make sure to get directions and put them in the car ahead of time. It is easy to forget that piece of paper in the rush out the door. A cheaper route might be to find temporary Estero hurricane shelters. Usually nearby towns not in the direct path of the Estero hurricane will provide these for people in need.

4. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your pet will have a place in a motel or hotel. Keep this in mind and try to find alternate housing for your loved one until it is safe to return. Crate your pet.
