(NC) While we all look forward to the arrival of spring, it also brings a higher risk of extreme weather that could impact your home. As snow melts and temperatures rise, it’s important to stay aware of potential flooding and wildfire risks. Here are a few proactive steps you can take to protect your home and family this season:

Assess your flood risk. When it comes to potential water damage, there are many factors to consider, including where you live, the weather and the type of property you own. Co-operators offers a water damage risk assessment that offers a helpful view into how high your risk of flood damage could be. Keep water away from your home. Spring is the perfect time to clear your gutters and downspouts, which play an important role in directing water away from your foundation. Make sure your gutters are free of debris and extend at least six feet from your home to prevent water pooling. You may also want to consider installing a sump pump with a backup battery to protect your basement from flooding, especially during heavy spring rains.

Reduce fire hazards around property. Wildfires are becoming more common, especially in dry regions. Spring is a great opportunity to do yard work to ensure your property is protected from this risk. Keep your landscaping well-maintained by trimming your lawn, pruning trees and using rock or gravel mulch. Make sure to remove flammable debris like dry leaves and dead branches from your property.

Use fire-resistant materials. If you’re in the process of building or renovating, consider using fire-resistant roofing and siding to reduce fire risk. Triple-paned windows and fire-rated exterior doors can also help prevent fire from entering your home through vulnerable areas.

Stay prepared for emergencies. If something does happen, you should always have an emergency bag prepared with essentials. Some key items to pack include cash, passports, insurance information, important documents, medicine, non-perishable food, water, a flashlight and a first-aid kit.
