Trim Trees and Shrubs
It's not recommended that you do any trimming in the days before a hurricane. Often, your trash collection will be postponed, and branches and other debris present wind hazards. But for forward-planning, keep your trees and shrubs trimmed. Pay special attention to any limbs or branches that are close to your roof, as trimming them can help you avoid damage to it from high winds. Cut down any dying or damaged trees that are likely to come down in a hurricane.
