Buildings
or Sheds |
Any outdoor
structures such as sheds should be installed according to code. If
not, and time permits, remove structure. |
|
Patio
Screens |
Patio screens will
have a tendency to pop out in winds over 75 miles per hour.
- If possible, remove patio
screens by pulling out the spline which secures the screen to
the structure. This allows the wind in without causing damage to
either the screen or the structure.
- After the storm, screens can
be reassembled by replacing the spline.

|
Satellite
Dishes |
Satellite
dishes should be installed according to code. If possible, remove
and secure indoors. Otherwise, to secure for a storm:
- If movable, lower to base
setting.
- Turn dish away from the wind.

Solar Units |
It is not necessary
to remove solar units that are attached to the roof of a building
prior to a storm if they have been installed properly. |
|
Turbines |
Prior to a
hurricane, roof turbines should be removed and replaced with a
sheet metal cap. |
