Shasta County Tips for Preparedness

National Preparedness Month - Take Steps to Prepare with your Family.

 September is National Preparedness Month; we are doing our part by helping deliver tips and information to help keep our community informed in the event of a disaster. The key to being prepared is doing the activities necessary before a disaster happens, and although Redding is still experiencing hot weather with little storm activity, now is the time to prepare for when the storms may come!Trim broken limbs Over time, tree limbs become old and brittle. Since we have such a dry climate in Shasta County and the surrounding areas, that only contributes to the danger. If you have large trees near your home, it is a good idea to trim them before any potential storms can cause damage. Clean GuttersCleaning your gutters can be one of the most beneficial actions you can take to prevent storm damage. As heavy rain comes from the storm, clogged gutters can easily overflow. This overflow can eventually spill into your home inside of your walls, causing significant damage over time.Make A PlanGo to https://www.ready.gov/2024-national-preparedness-month-toolkit to learn how you can be better prepared.If you have experienced storm damage in the Redding or surrounding areas, don’t hesitate, contact us today!530-222-0200
