Knowing who to call before a storm even hits the Jamestown area will help you mobilize faster and navigate each step with less stress on your shoulders.
These are some things that we want everyone in the area to know when faced with storm damage in Jamestown:
Safety After the Storm
Inspecting the damage after a storm will be on your mind, but you need to take care and keep safety in mind. Consider the following:
- Always assume any downed lines are dangerous and energized. Stay 10ft or further from the lines, and make sure to contact the utility company and emergency services.
- Look out for hazards, including exposed nails and broken glass.
- If you must inspect your home’s damage at night, opt for a flashlight versus a candle or open flame. This eliminates potential hazards if there is a damaged gas line.
