Properly preparing your home can help you avoid damage and ensure your family’s safety. Start by cleaning your gutters and downspouts to prevent water from overflowing and causing roof or foundation damage. Check your roof for loose or damaged shingles, as winter storms can exacerbate issues.

Given the potential for strong winds, inspect your home’s exterior and secure any loose siding or trim. Trim back any tree branches that could fall onto your home during a storm. In South Eugene, power outages are not uncommon during winter storms, so it’s wise to have a backup power source, such as a generator, and to keep flashlights, batteries, and extra blankets on hand.

Seal gaps or cracks around windows and doors to keep the cold out and your home warm. If you have a fireplace or wood stove, ensure it’s clean and in good working order before the cold weather hits. By taking these steps, you can better protect your home from the unique challenges of our winter weather and ensure a safe, cozy winter season.
