Here in nothwest Iowa summer storms can come up in a moments notice and cause damage that takes weeks, months, even years to repair.  Take a look at the summer storms from 2018, there are homes in West Bend that are still on a waiting list to be repaired from the hail that hit town.  The summer storms in 2019 hit much of our area with flooding leaving homeowners with basements to refinish or mold to battle.  

So far the summer of 2020 has not been too bad to us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared.  With the constant threat of severe thunderstorms, wind, hail, tornado's, etc. we should always have a kit available in the event of a disaster.  A storm prep kit can be used throughout the seasons here in our region keeping items such as bottled water, blankets, flashlights, and a batter operated radio (with extra batteries) all handy.  It would also be important to have some food on hand in the event you are trapped for multiple days from a severe storm.  

While these items can easily be stored in a basement or storm shelter, one thing I have learned in my time at SERVPRO is to not only ensure those items are in a water sealed tote, but to also make sure to check those contents regularly to ensure they are still good to consume and that they are staying dry and mold free.  

If disaster strikes, don't let it ruin your summer.  Call the professionals at SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes and let them worry about the mess so you can focus on the rest.
