During this cyclone, there is a possibility of heavy damage due to winds blowing at a speed of 150 km. In such times, it is necessary to take some necessary steps to keep your vehicles safe. Next, we are going to give information about some precautions, by adopting which the possible danger can be reduced.
Start preparing with information
If such a situation is going to happen in your area, then keep an eye on the warnings given by the Meteorological Department through a reliable source. So that you are ready to take necessary steps to save your car in advance.
Make arrangements for indoor shelter
If possible, arrange to park your car in a covered parking like garage. So that your car can avoid facing conditions like strong winds, heavy rains.
trim nearby trees
If there are trees around your house with large dead branches or trees that are weak and can fall in case of strong winds, cut them down. In this case, the chances of the tree falling on your car will be less. Along with this, tie tightly any thing which is loose in the garden etc.
cover well with car cover
If you don’t have any space inside to park the car. In such a situation, cover your car with a good quality cover and tie it well from all sides. Keep in mind that this cover should cover the car completely and should not be small or big.
Choose the right parking place
If you do not have a safe place like home or garage to park the car, then try to park the car away from trees, electric poles, etc. So that the damage caused by their falling on top of the car can be saved. Also, if you park the car at this height, then it will be safe even in case of water logging.
Give extra safety to windshield and mirrors
In such a situation, you can provide additional protection to the windshield and glasses of the car by applying a protective film on it.
fill the fuel tank
In case of cyclone or storm, get the fuel tank of the car filled. So that if there is a situation to come and go anywhere, then you do not have to worry for fuel or if there is a need to take power from the engine of the car in case of power failure, then your work will be done. Along with this, when the tank is full, it can also get rid of the moisture that occurs at the time of rain.
disconnect the battery connection
During such times, it is not possible to use the car for a long time, especially till the cyclone subsides. That’s why it would be right to remove the battery connections. This will prevent the battery from getting discharged quickly, while there will be less chances of electrical problems in the car if the condition worsens.
must have insurance
The last and most important thing is that even in such a situation, if your car is not insured, then in case of damage to the car, all the loss will be on your pocket. Therefore, check the insurance once and if it is not there, take a comprehensive policy. In which the loss due to natural calamity is also compensated, as well as take some photos of your car which can be useful in future.
