Hurricane Preparedness for Your Yard in Fort Walton Beach?
7/5/2023 (Permalink)
Our Fort Walton Beach team is a trusted leader in hurricane damage restoration services. Residents here have been relying on our teams of professionals to restore their storm damage for over twenty years. Hurricane season is upon us and the City of Fort Walton Beach (FWB) urges residents to prepare for these powerful storms by doing some pre-hurricane maintenance as follows:
- Cut back all trees and weak branches that make contact with your home
- Thin your foliage so the wind can flow freely through branches, decreasing the chance that trees/plants will be uprooted
- Place tree trimmings at curbside on your regular scheduled collection day and follow the 6/40 rule (i.e., each piece cannot exceed 6 feet in length or 40 lbs. in weight) and must be clear of any obstructions.
- Containerize your tree trimmings such as pine needles, leaves, twigs, etc. in plastic bags.
- Clean your yard of any items that could become missiles in a storm such as broken lawn furniture, etc., and call FWB Solid Waste Division for a special pick up on Fridays.
