We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

If you live in Franklin, you know that powerful storms can blow in from the Pacific Ocean and bring heavy rain to our region. Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County team wants everyone to be prepared to withstand the next big rainstorm and offers these tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for preparing your home to ensure safety and minimize potential damage:

Clear Gutters and Drains: Make sure your gutters and drains are clear of debris to allow rainwater to flow freely. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and flooding.

Secure Outdoor Items: Bring indoors or secure any outdoor furniture, toys, or objects that could be swept away or damaged by heavy rain and wind.

Seal Windows and Doors: Check for leaks around windows and doors and seal any gaps to prevent water infiltration.

Monitor Weather Updates: Keep a close eye on weather forecasts and updates. Use reliable sources such as the National Weather Service or a weather app to stay informed about the situation.

Create an Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit with essential supplies like flashlights, batteries, non-perishable food, water, a first-aid kit, and important documents. Be ready for power outages or evacuation if necessary.
