It’s also smart to keep a fire extinguisher on hand. Consider home inspections this season to make sure everything is in tip top shape.
  3. Back Up Supplies- Have important supplies ready to go including extra batteries, non-perishable foods, consider an emergency kit as well. Also, consider the needs for anyone in your home, if they will need any supplies make sure to stock up!
  4. Trim Those Trees- Winter storms can bring down branches and shrubs so make sure to trim them back to avoid any costly damage to your home.
