INCLEMENT WEATHER UPDATE



Starting tonight and lasting until tomorrow afternoon, weather forecasters predict a snow storm that will impact the tri-state area.

Forecasters warn that we will experience wind gusts, rain, and then several inches of snow. RestoreCore has crews and equipment throughout the region to assist customers who may sustain damage from this storm. This may turn out to be just a fun snow day, but as always we urge you to be prepared. 

Below are some tips on how to get your property ready:


AT YOUR BUSINESS
  • Create a snow removal plan that involves your staff, a contractor or a combination of the two to remove water, ice and snow.
  • Maintain adequate supplies of snow-melt chemicals and sand.
  • Mark all encumbrances and obstructions that may not be visible to snow-removal equipment.
  • Identify emergency equipment such as fire hydrants, standpipes and post indicator valves.
  • Contract with a snow removal firm if your employees are not capable of adequately removing snow. 
  • Consider how you’ll remove snow accumulation from the roof.
  • Monitor the drains on your property and be sure they are clear of ice.

AT HOME
  • Be aware of local regulations about clearing sidewalks. 
  • Take care when shoveling to protect your back. 
  • If you use a snowblower, protect yourself and others from carbon monoxide dangers. 
  • You may choose to salt your sidewalk, driveway or parking areas for safety.
