Make your home strong enough for the storm

You should look for parts of the house that needs improvement by doing your research on the areas of your home that is commonly attacked by floods, strong gusts of wind and falling debris. The basement should also be structurally improved if you want to avoid flooding and any structural damages due to soil changes because of the amount of moisture that it absorbed. You should also make your roof materials tough if you want it to withstand the full force of the wind and the flying debris that comes with it. 

Get your trees trimmed

After making your home strong enough to withstand the forces of nature, you should look into the parts of your home’s outdoor environment that can cause damage. Trees surrounding the house should be trimmed to prevent it from damaging the home because fallen branches are a common source of damage.

Clear all the waterways around your property

Floods are always dependent on the location. If your home is in a high position, you should have no problem with floods. For homes that are in a lower area however, there should be a good waterway that will allow the water to flow further downhill without damaging the property. If you have this kind of property, you should keep the waterways free of debris to allow the water to flow freely.   Letting the water flow to its intended destination is the best flood prevention plan.
