Trim Your Trees:

Look for dead or overhanging branches that could cause problems in high winds to your pool, patio enclosure, and home.

Secure Your Items:

All things not securely fastened down should be moved in case of a storm. (This includes smaller items like toys and decorations.)

Should I throw my deck furniture into my pool before the storm?

*Do not put glass items in the pool. Use caution with vinyl or fiberglass pools.
