Disaster Recovery

Natural disasters happen on a routine basis. A disaster could affect you or your home with little warning. Disaster recovery efforts may require you to do most of the heavy lifting. Disasters that affect tens of thousands of people stretch the resources of emergency workers to the breaking point. Disaster preparedness needs to be done primarily by you, not the government.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina ravaged the coast of Mississippi and flooded New Orleans in late August, 2005. Hurricane Katrina pictures do not tell the entire story.

Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans can keep you cool and save lots of money. Not all ceiling fans work well. The best ceiling fans have balanced motors and blades. Ceiling fans keep you cool the same way a hurricane forms in the ocean. You can install ceiling fans anywhere you need cooling, even outdoors on a covered porch.
