How to Prepare Your Car for a Hurricane

We all know how destructive hurricanes are. It's important to be prepared. If you have questions about how to ensure that both you and your vehicle are prepared should a natural disaster occur, get in touch with our dealership. It is hard to know what to do when a hurricane hits. Disaster calls for all sorts of actions. As you can see on our service specials list, the professionals here at Premier Honda can provide you with a Hurricane Preparedness Inspection. After you've packed up the essentials and secured your belongings, there are a few quick things you can do to prepare your pre-owned Honda for the impact of hurricane winds and debris, including but not limited to:

1. Maintain your vehicle's integrity. Nobody knows how long a natural disaster can last or its impacts – we only have educated guesses. If you haven't been on top of things, now is the time to redeem yourself. Make sure that you check out your Honda's fluid levels, tire pressure and other routine maintenance needs. If you're unsure what it requires, schedule Honda services online and one of our certified auto technicians will take a look!
2. Keep supplies handy. Keep an emergency kit in your car, truck or SUV to ensure you're prepared for anything. The kit should include essential items such as a first-aid kit, cell phone charger, fold-up shovel, booster cables, sand or kitty litter, flashlight, batteries, emergency flares, blankets, sleeping bags, duct tape, and multi-purpose tools like screwdrivers and knives.

Luckily, we can always see a hurricane coming, so it's a tad easier to be prepared. In the United States, hurricanes are most likely to develop during the six months between June 1 and November 30. Once a hurricane makes its way on the map, meteorologists can foretell fairly accurately when and where they're going to hit. With all of our advanced technologies and tips, you have time to prepare your home, family, and new Honda car for a hurricane and the flood damage that potentially follows.
