  • Medications and copies of medical records
  • A first aid kit
  • Current photos of you with your pet(s) in case they get lost
  • Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to foster or board your pets
  • Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable

Sandestin Community Participates in National Preparedness Month Programs?

9/12/2023 (Permalink)

Windows are boarded up in preparation for a hurricane. We are leaders in storm damage restoration in Walton County.

Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams have been restoring storm damage in Sandestin for over twenty years. Powerful storms can cause severe damage to homes and properties, and we want everyone to be prepared to weather any storm or disaster.

Every September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hosts National Preparedness Month, a month filled with information, activities, community initiatives, and awareness campaigns to create awareness about the importance of being prepared for disasters and emergencies. This year, the campaigns focus on elderly populations and their unique needs. Additional resources will be posted on Ready.gov/older-adults.

Addressing the unique needs for support and services older individuals may require in an emergency not only boosts their ability to endure difficult situations but also lessens the effects of emergencies on their well-being. The elderly may encounter heightened risks during disasters due to factors like prescribed medications, reliance on specialized medical equipment, or the need for specific care, all of which can be severely impacted during emergencies. Also, older populations are particularly susceptible to heat or cold-related illnesses and dehydration. By preparing in advance to meet their unique needs, we can safeguard their welfare and maintain their safety during disasters and emergencies.

A large colony of mold is growing on a wall inside a home. We are leaders in mold mitigation and restoration services in Okaloosa County.

Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams are leaders in mold remediation services. To minimize the potential for mold outbreaks at home, it is important to take measures to control moisture levels and maintain good indoor air quality. The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following:

  • Keep indoor humidity levels below 60 percent by using dehumidifiers or air conditioners and ensuring proper ventilation
  • Repair any water leaks promptly and address any signs of water intrusion
  • Ensure proper drainage around the property to prevent water pooling near the foundation
  • Use exhaust fans or open windows when cooking, bathing, or doing activities that generate moisture
  • Clean and dry any water-damaged materials or items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth
  • Regularly inspect and maintain your property, including roofs, plumbing, and ventilation systems

The warm and moist climate in Freeport creates the perfect atmosphere for mold colonies to thrive. By addressing any moisture issues and maintaining a dry and well-ventilated environment, you can reduce the risk of mold outbreaks in your home or business.

Waterspout Threatens to Damage Property in Destin?

8/14/2023 (Permalink)

A large waterspout is seen. We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Okaloosa County.

Our local Destin, Seaside, and Freeport teams restore storm damage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in Destin. Storm damage can take many forms, including waterspout damage. Last year, a massive waterspout was spotted off Destin Beach. These whirling columns of air and water mist have the same characteristics as a land tornado. The damage waterspouts can cause depends on the intensity, duration, and proximity to land, structures, and people. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, waterspouts come in two categories of severity:

Tornadic Waterspouts

These are the more powerful and potentially dangerous types of waterspouts. Tornadic waterspouts are formed by a rotating updraft associated with a severe thunderstorm or a supercell. They have a more well-defined structure and are similar to land-based tornadoes. Tornadic waterspouts can have strong winds and may exhibit a visible debris cloud beneath the funnel. They can cause significant damage if they move onshore or encounter boats or other structures on the water.

Fair Weather Waterspouts

Fair weather waterspouts are less intense than tornadic waterspouts and typically form in relatively calm weather conditions, often under the base of developing cumulus clouds. They are typically smaller in size and weaker in terms of wind speed compared to tornadic waterspouts. Fair-weather waterspouts are usually short-lived and less likely to cause significant damage. However, they can still pose a threat to boats and swimmers if they come into close proximity.

“I had water damage at a property in Northwest Florida and used SERVPRO to help with immediate mitigation as well as some restoration/removal. I left a prior 5-star review regarding the immediate mitigation efforts they performed, which was excellent! Days later, SERVPRO is back out assisting with the removal of damaged flooring.

And while I hope I NEVER have an emergency situation like this again, if I do, SERVPRO will be my first call!” B. Walding
