2. Keeping the cover clear of stagnant water
When it rains, water really should run-down the top with the gutters. If this doesn't happen, the water stagnates and slowly begins to weaken the top. Removing fallen leaves through the water pipes will save you your house owner big money doing roof repairs.
3. Keeping a properly ventilated attic
During hail storms, ice accumulates on rooftops and the only thing saving the roof from collapsing may be the hot air emanating from the attic. If this evaporation does not occur, it comes with an imminent chance of water getting into your home with the shingles. To prevent this from happening, make sure you have a qualified professional come look into the ventilation with your attic prior to storm sets in.
4. Seal all openings
Water from storms could get to your home through many openings for example the chimneys and skylights. Sealants who have decayed must be repaired with silicone or tar to stop water leakages. Window and door sealants can also let water in as they weaken eventually.
5. Monitoring utility lines
This is a common occurrence for certain utilities such as electricity to become interrupted when storms emerge. This is due to winds weighing down on tree branches and entangling them with electricity or telephone lines. To stop this, always trim tree branches that are growing towards utility supply lines. Remember to cut down weak trees that are swaying precariously near electricity or telephone lines.
Each time a storm occurs plus your home remains intact because of the above techniques, it is now time gain access to the specific situation around your own home. Trees would be the most unlucky and suffer the brunt of the natural occurrences.

2. Bad advice
Timber is often a valuable commodity and there'll always emerge some fellows claiming to get tree experts. These 'experts' will ask you to allow them to have permission to cut down the trees and carry them away for research. Try not to be fooled by them.
3. Tending to the residual trees
As a final point, employ the assistance of a qualified tree professional. He/she will highlight how to look after your surviving trees and protect them in the foreseeable future from storm caused water issues.
