Storm Alert: What to Do to Prepare – Hurricane-Ready Glass Tips from Lemon Bay Glass

Storm Alert! Be Prepared to Protect What Matters Most

As storms brew in the Gulf, it’s critical to protect your home or business before the winds pick up. Lemon Bay Glass has been helping Florida property owners weather storms for over 40 years. Below is a must-read checklist to help you prepare for hurricane season and safeguard your glass and storefront systems.

Before a hurricane approaches, have your disaster preparedness plan in place. Whether you’re a homeowner, builder, or property manager, being prepared allows you to focus on what matters most: yourself, your family, and your safety.

Hurricane Glass & Storefront Prep Checklist

Owners, property managers, and tenants should take the following actions to protect assets and reduce loss:

1. Clear Drains & Gutters:
Ensure water can flow away from the building to avoid flooding.

2. Protect Louvers & Vents:
Install covers to prevent wind-driven rain from entering.

3. Remove Potential Flying Debris:
Trash cans, ashtrays, and loose exterior items
Secure benches, furniture, and non-permanent signage

4. Lock All Doors Securely
Check that main and secondary locks are fully engaged
Verify panic exit devices are properly bolted

5. Lock All Operable Windows
Ensure hurricane windows have secondary latches engaged

6. Install Shutters Where Available

7. Secure Commercial Storefronts
ADA-compliant thresholds can allow wind-driven rain under doors
Sandbags or door sweeps may help minimize water intrusion
