Spring is upon us and with Spring comes possible severe weather. Spring weather in Kentucky is very unpredictable, that is why it's always best to be prepared for anything. It never fails that Kentucky will be hit by some variation of severe Spring weather. So how can we be prepared for what Mother Nature might throw our way? Check out the helpful tips below to help you and your loved ones stay safe and be ready for anything. 

1. Have a plan. Make sure you and your loved ones are on the same page and you all know how to contact one another and where to meet up should there be severe weather. 
2. Prepare an emergency kit; make sure it has a 3 day supply of water, non perishable food, medications, personal hygiene products, batteries, a flashlight, a weather radio, a first-aid kit, and portable cell phone chargers.
3. Make sure all of your important documents & keepsakes are stored in waterproof, sealable bags. 
4. If possible try to have a generator on hand, as severe storms have the possibility of knocking out power for days or weeks. 

These tips will help keep you safe, however if your home should sustain damage due to severe weather make sure to contact your insurance provider to see if the damage is covered.
