There is no way to flood-proof your home, but there are things you can do to protect your home from rising water. First, check your roof to see if you have loose shingles. This can help stop leaks before they start. Also, check your basement to make sure it is properly sealed. Last, don't forget about your vehicles! They are one of the top insurance claims from hurricanes and should be parked inside your garage if there's room.
