Its hurricane season again! Remember last year, in total there
are 18 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. Now this year,
sixteen named storms with eight hurricanes are forecast by experts of Colorado
State University for the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. Possibly four of the
hurricanes having Category 3 to 5, with sustained winds of at least 111mph will
pass through Florida areas.
Notably last year, Hurricane Dorian made landfall on Elbow Cay
in The Bahamas with 185 mph winds, which its devastation was enormous and
monstrous. Power outages, chaos, and a high rise in reports of burglary and
looting were recorded. Most residences who have no gates and fences are the
most vulnerable and susceptible to such criminal acts.
Though a sad reality of life for hurricane-prone areas, it is
common for them. Probably, some years are worse than others, however, it is
always best to be prepared and ready anytime. As such, personal safety is
a top priority.
In the event, if ever hurricane passes by your area, possibly if
ever you are required to evacuate, your house would be left unguarded,
vulnerable, and fragile. Probably, your doors and windows are strong and
durable enough against burglary, however, these modern-day thieves are becoming
unpredictable, cunning, and smarter, you can never tell.

Tip No. 2: Prioritized Protection
Every time hurricane comes, so are crimes of property break-ins
and vandalism. Especially for most holiday homeowners who are away for most of
the year due to the hurricane season, the need to secure properties are more
essential than ever.
While burglar bars may provide temporary protection, it is
better off to have security gates to delay entry of thieves or would-be
burglars from breaking into your home.
Tip No. 3: Motorized and Manual Operation
While residential security gates may offer additional
protection, there could be times when they leave you open and exposed to attack

open your gate, assailants or criminals can jump and attack you at the least
you expected.
