Hurricane Preparation: Nix the Tape on Home Windows, Say Hurricane Officials
Insurance Journal recently issued important advice for protecting your home during the upcoming hurricane season: "Officials with the National Hurricane Center had a message this week for residents living in hurricane-prone areas: Don’t tape your windows. Center officials are joining with a consumer advocate group at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, Fla. this week to encourage residents to skip taping their windows when a hurricane is heading their way. They believe it leads to a false sense of security and actually increases danger." Click here for the full article.
