Ice Storms are Coming this Weekend–What’s your Risk?

1/11/2022 (Permalink)

We at SERVPRO prefer to keep the ice in our veins, not in our homes!

Ice Storms can be even more dangerous than traditional storms. Sure, there’s less lightning and thunder (although thunder isn’t a big deal if you’re not a baby), but there’s ice, and ice isn’t nice. If you’ve been living in NC for a while, you’ve probably got a pretty good grasp on what your risks are for certain types of weather, but if you’re new, or if it’s a particularly nasty year, it’s best to check things out and be safe rather than sorry! FEMA (The Federal Emergency Management Association) has maps for risk of damage for each type of natural disaster by county, so you can easily find out your risk!
