When it's forecast to be windy, please make sure items in your yard aren't blown all over the neighborhood. Tie down anything that is loose or store it inside. Secure the lids to your garbage and recycling containers. Besides losing items that make a mess of the neighborhood, your airborne items can cause damage as they bounce along and strike other times (car sides and windows, home windows, etc.).
High wind warnings require homeowner action
- Trim tree branches away from your house and powerlines
- Secure loose gutters and shutters
- Identify an interior room of your house, such as a basement or interior
bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings
- Make a list of items outside your home you will need to tie down or put away
so that they don't blow away or fly through a window
- When a high wind or severe thunderstorm watch is issued, immediately secure
these items to avoid damage or injury once the wind starts picking up

Trampolines must be secured in high winds
Trampolines are, in essence, large disk shaped objects that are lifted off
the ground by about 3ft. This means that wind is free to travel above and
below the trampoline mat. The only way to prevent possible damage to your
trampoline, home, neighbor's home, etc. is to either take apart the safety
net and trampoline mat or tie it down BEFORE THE HIGH WINDS ARRIVE. Learn
