Preparing for Storm Season

A little preparation now can prevent much bigger problems later

As we head toward fall and winter, now is a good time to make sure your Punta Piedra property is ready for periods of heavy rain, strong winds, and rough surf.

A few simple steps can make a significant difference:

• Check roofs, windows, doors, and other areas vulnerable to water intrusion.
• Clear drains and drainage areas so rainwater has somewhere to go.
• Secure umbrellas, furniture, planters, and other loose outdoor items before periods of strong wind.
• If your property is vulnerable to runoff or flooding, consider having sandbags ready before they are needed.
• If your home will be vacant, arrange for someone to check it following a significant storm.

Punta Piedra is built around the ocean, and that is much of what makes it special. It also means wind, rain, and surf deserve a little extra respect when the weather turns.

Residents should continue to follow official weather updates as conditions develop.
