CLEVELAND, July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Storm season is here, but is your home ready? Every year, severe weather causes billions of dollars' worth of damage in the U.S., with homeowners bearing the brunt of nature's fury. Don't let storms catch you unprepared.

Budget Dumpster's Essential Guide to Planning for Severe Weather highlights storm preparation tips and best practices from American Family Insurance, Roto-Rooter and other experts including meteorologists, landscapers and restoration specialists. By following these guidelines, as well as some basic storm cleanup and repair tips, you can stay ahead of the weather and keep damage to a minimum.

Follow the guide and learn how to:

  • Check the effectiveness of your sump pump with Roto-Rooter.
  • Retrofit your home to prevent storm damage with American Family Insurance.
  • Begin flood-proofing your home with help from Real Seal waterproofing.
  • Create a home insurance inventory with advice from Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.

The guide also provides tips and information that will help you keep your family safe during a storm, including how to track a storm and why capturing the storm for social media purposes is ill-advised.

"As tempting as it may be to get video of lightning or hail during a storm, it is safest to stay inside your home away from windows," advises Amy Sweezey, Meteorologist at WESH Orlando. "Lightning can strike through windows, and tornadoes can form quickly inside a thunderstorm."
