How to protect your car during a storm

While we can’t control the weather, we can make efforts to protect ourselves, our homes, and our vehicles from natural disasters. By taking a few extra safety precautions, you can possibly prevent your car from experiencing significant damage. Use the following tips to protect your vehicle:

• Park away from trees when possible.
• Park in a garage or under a covered shelter if possible.
• Avoid parking in low, flood-prone areas.

• Do not attempt to drive through flooded areas.
• Pay attention to local weather alerts.
• Store important documents, such as vehicle registrations, in a watertight Ziploc bag.
• Invest in comprehensive car insurance.

Take precautions to help limit damage to your vehicle during severe weather situations.
