Storm-Proof Your Unit
- Everything on pallets + 3-inch wall gap; totes gasketed; important docs in dry bags + climate unit.
- Photo inventory + serials to cloud; insurance docs outside the unit.
- Ask manager: flood history, drainage, roof age, tornado shelter location, after-storm access policy.
After a Warning
Don’t chase units in a tornado warning — shelter first. Post-storm: photograph before moving anything, report to facility + insurer same day, mitigate (tarps/fans) to preserve claims. See facilities with drainage/security.
FAQs
Are units tornado-safe?
No — go to designated shelter, not your unit. Units protect property, not people.
Does insurance cover storm water?
Often excluded without riders. Confirm flood/sewer backup before April.
