We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Chicago.

SERVPRO® of Gold Coast /Lincoln Park /Lakeview wants Lincoln Park residents to stay safe during severe weather events and offers these safety tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on thunderstorm safety:

• When you hear thunder, go indoors. A sturdy building is the safest place to be during a thunderstorm
• Pay attention to weather reports and warnings of thunderstorms. Be ready to change plans, if necessary, to be near shelter
• When you receive a thunderstorm warning or hear thunder, go inside immediately
• If indoors, avoid running water or using landline phones. Electricity can travel through plumbing and phone lines
• Protect your property. Unplug appliances and other electric devices
• If boating or swimming, get to land and find a sturdy, grounded shelter or vehicle immediately
• If necessary, take shelter in a car with a metal top and sides. Do not touch anything metal
• Avoid flooded roadways. Turn Around Don’t Drown®. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away
