Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 1, 2008 -- Hurricane season is upon us in Florida, as it officially begins June 1 and ends on November 30.

Ten Steps for Preparing Your Florida Home or Condominium Prior to a Hurricane Evacuation
1. Take inside all exterior furniture and loose objects on pool decks, yards, and balconies.
2. If you have hurricane shutters (http://www.remodelsouthflorida.com/hurricane-shutters.htm), roll down shutters, or removable storm panel systems, they should be securely locked in the closed position. If you do not have approved hurricane protection devices, securely nail in place 3/4 inch plywood over all your accessible window and door openings.
3. For those of you who have screen pool enclosures and or screen patios/balconies it is advisable to cut the screens at the bottom of each section for winds anticipated over 90 miles per hour. It will relieve pressure off the structure.
4. For those of you who have turbine ventilators on your roof, remove them and securely cap. Solar hot water panels should also be securely shrink wrapped.
5. Move all fragile objects and valuable possessions away from the windows and sliding doors.
6. Place folded towels at the bottom of doors, windows, and in the interior tracks of sliding doors to minimize, or eliminate water intrusion.
7. Check all faucets, stove, and oven to be certain they are in the closed position.
8. Unplug your electronics prior to leaving your residence to avoid electrical surges that may damage home electronics, appliances, or cause a fire.
9. Place your insurance policy and important documents in a plastic zip lock bag or waterproof container and take them with you.
10. Make sure in advance that you have a full tank of fuel in your vehicle.
