Recap: Preparing for April Showers

“You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don’t want to face.” – Bai Ling

April is not in full swing, and we’re starting to see why the saying is “April Showers Bring May Flowers.” Did you see our blog from last week with advice on how to handle these Spring rainstorms? In case you missed it, here are just a few of the tips that we gave:

  • Prepare for April showers by making sure that your emergency kit is stocked.
  • Perform home maintenance tasks like cleaning gutters and trimming trees to ensure that you are storm ready.
  • If you are a gardener, April is a great time to plan your layout and plant seeds so that you can harness the rain!
  • Remove standing water around your home to eliminate breeding grounds for pests.
  • Check your sump pump to ensure it is working as intended during storms and snow melts.
  • Review tips for driving in the rain, especially how to handle your vehicle if it hydroplanes.
  • Buy rain gear before you need it.

If you’re ready to start your Spring Cleaning for the year, remember that Vargas and Vargas Insurance Agency is here to help dust off your insurance policies.
