Stay On Top: Roof Awareness To Protect Your Home

Welcome to my blog. As a local State Emergency Services volunteer, I am pleased to help families save their entire home and belongings by doing makeshift repairs or using tarpaulins. Unfortunately, I also see many heartbreaking cases in which families lose everything. If a cyclone or flood is severe enough, there is little we can do to fight the forces of nature. However, in too many situations, people have neglected to take care of their roof. Few people think about the consequences of having all their belongings exposed to the elements.
