8/25/2021 (Permalink)

Storms in Middle Tennessee can be violent and cause a lot of damage to your North Nashville home or business. However, you can use technology to prepare for the worst, and today we would like to talk about ways you can do just that. 

HOW CAN I STAY INFORMED DURING A STORM IN THE NASHVILLE AREA?

Getting weather updates is going to be vital for you during - or after - a storm. Here are some sources for trustworthy information:

• The Weather Channel is a great place to find in-depth reports on area conditions, as well as what to expect in the coming hours. You can access this channel on your computer or laptop, or you can download their app to use on your phone. 
• Local news stations will also be sharing up-to=the-minute information, and they will have a website you can access. 
• You may want to consider buying an emergency radio so that you can stay informed if you lose wifi or electricity. Do some research to find the best one for your location.
• FEMA sends out emergency television and radio broadcasts, so if you have some access to the airwaves, you will get those essential updates. 

WHAT TECHNOLOGY EXISTS THAT CAN HELP ME PROTECT MY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS?

When you experience storm damage, you can end up losing essential items through water damage. Heirlooms, clothing, and items made of paper may not survive the water and debris that accompanies the storm. Scanning and downloading your vital statistic documents will help you avoid losing things like :

• birth and death records
• marriage and divorce papers
• birth certificates
• insurance policies
• wills and deeds 

To ensure that such documentation stays undamaged even if your computer is affected, you can store extra copies on:

•  a flash drive that you can keep away from water damage 
• a water-proof hard drive
