AXA shares tips to protect your home from heavy rain with "AXA Sabuydee My Home"
In a time of unpredictable weather patterns, especially during the rainy season, it's important to be mindful of the natural hazards that come with heavy rainfall, such as lightning, thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, floods, fires, and other disasters that may directly impact individuals and their homes. AXA is encouraging homeowners and condominium residents to explore four simple ways to prepare for and safeguard their homes during heavy storms, offering peace of mind in your safe space.
Regularly check your home and extensions
With unpredictable weather patterns and the onset of rainstorms and strong winds, structural damage to buildings is a common concern. Strong winds can damage homes, uproot trees, or cause large billboards to collapse onto houses, leading to structural failure. New homeowners should seek a structural engineering expert to inspect the home’s strength, while those in older homes should regularly monitor the stability of their residence to ensure safety.
Install grounding systems to protect your home from lightning strikes
During thunderstorms, it’s best to avoid using electrical appliances, as they often contain metal that conducts electricity, putting you at risk of a lightning strike. To protect your home and its precious contents, it is advisable to install grounding systems on all electrical equipment. This method provides effective protection for both life and property during rainstorms or even in normal conditions.
Reduce risk areas to ensure the safety of pets and loved ones
The severity of rainstorms can pose a danger to people, pets, and household belongings. The most vulnerable areas in the home that should be avoided during storms are glass roofs, doors, or windows. Stay away from these areas during heavy rain and high winds, and if any part of the house is damaged, carry out repairs immediately before a storm hits.
Choose comprehensive insurance for your home
Beyond staying updated with information from relevant authorities to prepare for natural disasters, home or condominium owners and renters should also consider taking out home insurance to alleviate any concerns about their property. This can provide protection for both the home and its contents.
