As a homeowner, you know the importance of protecting yourself against severe weather. As tornadoes begin to roll in this summer, it&#8217;s important that you take steps to keep you and your family safe. At Idaho Select Insurance, serving Meridian, ID and surrounding areas, we care about you and your home. Follow these tips to make sure you&#8217;re prepped and ready for tornado season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Know your safe spot. Talk with your family about where you&#8217;ll shelter in your house when a tornado hits. Prep that area with the things you&#8217;ll need while you shelter in place, such as bottled water, nonperishable food items, a flashlight, a cell phone charger, batteries, and baby supplies, if applicable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Practice. If you have young kids, it&#8217;s important that they know what to do when a tornado hits. Practice walking down to your safe spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; When severe thunderstorms are coming, know how you&#8217;re going to prep your yard. Bring patio furniture inside, pull one of the cars into the garage, and make sure that any lose objects are secured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Think about nearby family members, especially those who are disabled or elderly. It might make sense for mom and dad to stay at your home when severe weather is predicted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, all the plans in the world don&#8217;t always protect against the unexpected. It&#8217;s important that you have a solid home insurance policy to keep you safe during storm season. Call our office, Idaho Select Insurance serving Meridian, ID, to set up a policy that will keep your home safe when tornadoes hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s clear: tornado season is upon us.
