Be Prepared in Case of a Storm Evacuation in Boulder County, CO

3/8/2022 (Permalink)

Keep your four legged friends in mind when preparing an emergency kit.

Every home should have an emergency kit ready to roll in case of an evacuation due to a storm in the areas around Boulder, Superior, and Nederland, CO. SERVPRO of Greater Boulder suggests having these items prepared and stored in a waterproof container in the event that you would need to leave your home.

• Copies of medical insurance & Medicare cards
• Warm blankets
• Extra clothing, especially socks & undergarments
• Bottled water
• A three day supply of non perishable food
• Batteries for your electronic devices
• Written contact list
• A week long supply of prescription medications and other medical necessities 

If you have pets, remember to prepare their emergency kit as well with pet food, toys, beds and other comfort objects, and vet information.  Some shelters will not or cannot allow pets. Ahead of an emergency, find out which ones will allow your 4-legged friends. All shelters allow service animals.

You cannot always prepare for a storm or know how weather may change, but you can make efforts to keep your family protected and safe. Should you need help to clean up after a storm, SERVPRO of Greater Boulder is here to make it, “Like it never even happened.” Call (303)494-2000 for assistance with storm damage.
