ALT Winterize your home by inspecting your chimney if you have one, clean out gutters once the leaves fall, insulate your attic and exposed pipes, caulk and weather strip windows and doors, and gather supplies.
#Winter weather may seem so far away, but will be here before we know it. What home maintenance tasks are important for homeowners to complete and assess this #fall, ahead of winter storms? #HomeownerChat

A couple of things are:
1. check weather.gov or another reliable source, to ensure there is no more threat
2. Lightning can strike many miles from a storm — even when it's not raining. So, ensure that you're not outside while you can still hear thunder

ALT One Strike, You're Out. When thunder roars, go indoors. Pictured: lightning striking near a baseball field.

In regards to a solar installation, if a storm has caused any power outages in your area, homeowners should contact their local utilities to inform them of their system especially if your system back feeds to the grid. Protect our linemen! #HomeownerChat

Air conditioning certainly is a blessing. But...
⚡️Don't take it for granted by making a plan for if the power goes out.
⚡️Not everyone has easy access to air conditioning. Reach out to those most isolated and vulnerable to extreme #heatwave

How can homeowners stay safe and cool under such extreme #heat? And how can their homes help aid in their safety? #HomeownerChat #heatwave

Your home is a great tool to stay safe from the heat outside. Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths most years. You are generally safe indoors with the AC on while staying hydrated. Can’t easily get indoors? Stay in the shade. weather.gov/safety/heat

Most reputable solar panel manufactures sell a great durable product that can withstand small to moderate size hail. However, hail damage can still occur. Depending on the damage, homeowners should look to their insurance instead of a warranty. #HomeownerChat

Sure! Often times Homeowners Insurance is the best way to protect your investments and the same is said for solar! Outside of Homeowners Insurance, trimming back trees can help protect your panels as well as help their production! #HomeownerChat

Take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway on the lowest level during the storm. Put as many walls between you and the outside as you can.
Stay away from windows, skylights, and glass doors.

Though all of the threats you mention are dangerous, storm surge is - by far - not only the most deadly, but also the most damaging.
ALT Storm surge can be deadly. Storm surge causes devastating flooding along the coast. Listen to officials and follow evacuation orders. Stay weather-ready.
