What are your county recommendations for hurricane prep on your property? Find out now.

If you’re a seasoned Florida homeowner, you might have county recommendations for hurricane prep memorized. However, if you’re new to the Sunshine State or are simply a first-time homeowner here, the prospect of navigating hurricane season can be really daunting. Luckily, Pinellas County has carefully outlined a series of guidelines that homeowners can follow in order to stay safe throughout hurricane season. Today, we’re giving you a run-down of those guidelines so that you can make sure your home and property are as safe as possible leading up to storm season. Let’s get started.
Preparing Your Property
Generally speaking, hurricane prep falls into two categories: what you can do before hurricane season and what you can do once it’s underway. The best way to prepare your property for hurricane season is to be consistent about maintaining it year-round. This means:
Regularly inspecting your trees for signs of decay
Making sure your trees and shrubs are pruned when they begin to look unruly
Cleaning out your gutters every season
Mowing your lawn, getting rid of weeds, and otherwise making sure the foundation of your property is in good shape
Once hurricane season has begun, it becomes extra important to make sure that all of the steps above are taken care of. If your area is under hurricane watch or warning, it’s time to make some more urgent preparations, including:
Removing any stray branches, pinecones, twigs, and other plant growths from your property
Bringing all of your patio furniture, supplies, and decorations indoors (do not place them in your pool, if you have one; this can cause damage)
Having one last inspection of your property to ensure that no potential hazards go unnoticed.
Should You Call a Professional?
It’s always a good rule of thumb to be proactive and call a professional to inspect your property. This is advisable because property maintenance professionals can make sure that no potentially hazardous conditions on your property go unnoticed. They are also able to catch symptoms early on. For example, a professional property maintenance provider has the experience and training it takes to spot the early signs of disease or decay in a tree. If these signs go unnoticed, the decay can devolve further into hurricane season, compromising your tree’s structural stability and jeopardizing your property and home’s safety. Overall, it’s always a good idea to have your property professionally inspected and maintained before hurricane season starts.
Once a hurricane is on its way, make sure you clear away any twigs, leaves, or other stray branches in or around your shrubs in order to prevent them from becoming projectiles during the storm.
