Prepare for Tropical Storm Francine: Essential Tips and Services from Tim's Southern Air

As Tropical Storm Francine approaches Louisiana, it’s important to stay prepared while remaining calm. At Tim’s Southern Air, we are here to ensure you and your family stay safe and comfortable during severe weather. Below is a helpful storm emergency preparedness checklist to get you ready:

Before the Storm:

• Backup Power: Make sure your whole home standby generator is storm-ready by clearing debris and checking fuel levels.
• Secure Your Home: Protect your windows and doors with storm shutters or plywood. Trim trees and clear your gutters to prevent storm damage.
• Stock Up: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials such as food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and medications. Don’t forget to prepare for your pets as well!
• Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local weather updates, and be prepared with an evacuation plan if necessary.

During the Storm:

• Stay Indoors: Shelter in a secure, windowless room. Keep your cell phone charged for emergency alerts and updates.
• Generator Safety: Always operate portable generators outdoors, at least 20 feet from your home, and never near windows or doors.
• Power Tips: Unplug appliances to prevent power surges, and keep your refrigerator closed to preserve food.

After the Storm:

• Safety First: Avoid downed power lines and flooded areas. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and contact local authorities.
• Check Your Home: Inspect your home for any damage and take photos for insurance purposes. Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible.
• Check Your Generator: Don’t forget to check the fuel and fluid levels in your generator if it’s been running. Topping off oil and refueling ensures your home stays powered until utilities are restored.
