What is my Ice Storm Risk?

Red is bad, blue is good, grey is a mystery! What a beautiful rainbow of destruction.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, puts together National Maps of risks for damage from various national disasters each year called the “National Risk Index,” and it has one specifically for Ice Storm Damage. If you are wondering whether or not you’re in danger from some ice storm damage in the coming season, check out the map and see what you can learn.

The map is found here: https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/ice-storm

After you’ve learned about your risk at your home, it’s time to take precautions. Remember to clean up brush from the trees around your house, salt your driveway and sidewalk, and turn off your pipes leading outside the house.

If all else fails, and you still get walloped by an Ice Storm, be sure to call SERVPRO of Kernersville at (336) 748-0250 and we can come help you thaw things out and make it “Like it never even happened.”
