Are You Prepared For El Nino?

We may be in the thick of this October heat wave, but experts still predict El Nino activity this winter. One climatologist is even calling it a “Godzilla” storm! It will be a welcome relief to drought-stricken Southern California, but is your home ready for the deluge of rain water?

If you remember El Nino from 1997-1998, the devastating storms resulted in $550 million dollars in damages. Here are a few things you can do to prepare while it’s sunny:

• Repair and clean out the gutters
• Patch holes in the roof
• Buy a few umbrellas to have on hand
• Purchase flood insurance if you are located in flood zones
• Store an emergency kit
