As storm season approaches, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute urges homeowners to prepare early for safe and effective flood recovery.
Key recommendations include reviewing safety procedures, charging batteries, storing fuel properly, and having essential gear like gloves, chaps, and respirators ready.
Choosing the right pump—dewatering, semi-trash, trash, or diaphragm—is critical.
Always follow safety protocols: never run gasoline engines indoors, keep generators outdoors, and use chainsaws with care to avoid kickback. For more guidance, visit WeatherItBetter.com.
