Cyclone Marcia left then many parts of Queensland devastated last week. The category #5 cyclone left a trail of pain and destruction in its wake. The biggest affected areas of Marcia were the towns of Yeppoon and Rockhampton. Both towns suffered major damage to homes, infrastructure and businesses.
That is why we are sharing you some tips on protecting your home against upcoming cyclones.

Make sure you secure any unsecured items around your home.

Wind strengths are enough to tear down trees and the roofs of homes. You can do a great deal by securing any unsecured objects located inside and outside of your home. Powerful winds can turn even the smallest household items into deadly weapons if unsecured.

Have an emergency kit ready at all times.

With any disaster, you can expect plenty of power shortages, lack of reliable drinking water and have limited resources on hand. Having an up-to-date emergency kit containing batteries, a radio, non-perishable foods, clothing, candles and water can help you during a cyclone.

Make sure you have home insurance.

Australians can expect to experience more than 1 freak weather event in their lifetime. The damages cyclones can potentially cause can break the banks of many families if they aren’t prepared for an event like this. Ensuring that you have suitable property insurance to cover any damages can make all the difference in protecting your family and home in the long run.
