Why It’s Important to Protect Your Home for Severe Weather Leading up to a severe storm, you will want to ensure that you and your family are protected. Windows and doors are two areas in your home that are most likely to be subjected to damage during a hurricane, high-force windstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other severe weather. Flying debris during severe weather can impact the integrity of your windows or doors, especially glass doors or windows as it can shatter inwards, posing a safety risk to you and your family. Once a window is broken, more risk is imposed as additional bits of larger debris during the storm can fly in and damage the interior of the home and its contents. If you live in an area prone to severe weather, it is very important to make haste and not overlook protecting your windows and doors for storm season.
