As we prepare for the incoming storm, All Injuries Law Firm will be closed on Tuesday, October 8th, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 10th to ensure the safety of our staff and clients. We will continue to monitor the situation and update you if any further closures are necessary. In the meantime, we encourage everyone in our community to stay safe and follow some important precautions while preparing for the storm.Stay Calm and Be Patient During Storm Preparations
Storm preparations can be stressful, but it’s essential to stay calm and patient as you make your plans. Rushing through preparations can lead to unnecessary accidents or mistakes. Take your time, double-check your supplies, and remember that your safety is the top priority.
• Drive Safely: As people rush to finish last-minute errands, roads may become congested. Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid speeding. Stay patient with other drivers and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.
• Be Patient While Shopping: Stores may be busy and certain items may be in short supply. Practice patience when waiting in lines or dealing with other shoppers. Remember, everyone is trying to prepare just like you, and a little patience can go a long way.
Gassing Up Vehicles and Handling Fuel Safely
As the storm approaches, gas stations are likely to become crowded with long lines and high demand. It’s important to stay safe and be cautious when fueling up your vehicle or handling gasoline for generators.
• Be Patient at Gas Stations: Long lines and limited availability can make gas stations hectic. Give yourself plenty of time, stay calm, and follow the directions of attendants or staff on-site to avoid unnecessary conflicts or stress.
• Handle Gasoline Carefully: If you're filling gas containers for a generator, be cautious not to overfill. Pour gently to prevent gasoline from splashing back, which can create both a safety and fire hazard. Make sure to store fuel in approved containers, away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
Safety Tips for Storm Preparation at Home
As you secure your home, it’s important to take precautions to avoid injury while preparing for the storm. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:
• Be Careful Installing Storm Shutters: If you’re putting up storm shutters, make sure you have the right tools and assistance. Climbing ladders and lifting heavy panels can be dangerous, especially in windy conditions. If you’re not confident, consider hiring a professional.
• Watch Out for Tree Branches: Trimming tree branches is another common storm preparation task, but it can also be risky. Use proper safety gear, and be cautious when using ladders or trimming near power lines. If the job is too large or dangerous, it’s better to leave it to a professional.
