Storm Preparation

While it is uncertain what path a particular storm will take, there are steps you can take now to prepare yourself and your RV for possible significant storm conditions.

• Pick up and stow any loose items around your RV, including lawn furniture, lawn ornaments, lights, flags, banners, grills, toys, etc.
  • These may become dangerous airborne objects under high wind conditions which could cause bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Fill your water tank, and empty your black and gray water tanks, and close them soon in order to have adequate supply and capacity in the event of a loss of utilities.
• Be sure to remove all awnings and similar attachments and store them in the RV or another safe place. They may be ripped from your RV under high wind conditions.
• Be sure that you have adequate water, medication, fuel, batteries, non-perishable food, hygiene supplies, first aid supplies, etc.
