When wild land fire season is underway a visit to the Firewise page is important! Be safe and be Firewise during the summer months. If a fire threatens your neighborhood:
Rain. Tides. Levee failure. Ice jam. Snow melt. Floods happen, and they happen beside rivers, on the coast, in the deserts and in city streets. You don't have to lose your home and possessions to rampaging water, however.
It's never to early to prepare and you can take several basic steps right now to protect your family and your home from disaster.
Protect your home against the effects of winter such as frozen pipes.
As if slippery sidewalks and snow-covered cars aren't bad enough during the winter, your face another potential headache: ruined carpets and water damage to ceilings and walls from leaks caused by ice dams on the roof or bursting pipes.
