What to Do After a Bad Storm Passes | Here Are 3 Simple Tips

So far this year Central and North Georgia have had at least five severe weather events, and there is more to come. So what do you do when the thunder and lightning simmer, the rain stops, and the winds die down? Here are three tips to follow after a bad storm passes.

1. Stay alert and informed. Continue to listen to the local news to stay updated about the storm’s impact or if there is more bad weather on the way.
2. Contact loved ones and others. Reach out to your family, close friends, and others (like your employer) to let them know you are okay.
3. Carefully assess the damage. Check your property for damage. Do not touch any fallen wires or enter damaged areas. If you don’t suspect any potential hazards, check on your neighbor to see if they need any help.

Check to see if your local area has guidelines about separating the debris in different categories (such as regular household trash, yard debris, and electronics).
