March 21, 2008, Newsletter Issue #160: Basement or Cellar Preparation
Tip of the Week
In tornado-prone areas, the southwest corner of the basement is generally the safest place to store items as well as a good place for the family.
Make sure that the stairs or ladder into the cellar or basement are in good repair and that the lighting is adequate to avoid accidents. Keep a flashlight on a hook just outside the entrance in case the power goes out.
Avoid storage areas near steam pipes, radiators, or furnaces.
Keep a thermometer and humidity indicator in the storage area to monitor these factors.
Keep a pencil and small tablet handy so you can write down those items you remove for usage. This way, you have an accurate list of items used so that you can replace them.
