Maintaining Your Kit
Our storm tips below can help when you find yourself in a pinch.
- Home Inventory: Making a home inventory before disaster strikes can help you replace damaged belongings. Our Chief Claims Officer recommends using HouseBook.
- Turn Your Washing Machine Into a Cooler: You may be filling up your fridge and freezer with ice to keep your food safe, but your washing machine most likely can store a lot more. Fill the drum of your washing machine with fresh ice to keep food cold.
- Charge Up: Even old laptops can be used as a power source when the lights go out
