Self Storage Safety

COVID-19

We know many of you have concerns due to the pandemic, and we want you to feel confident that Handy Storage is firmly committed to your health and safety.

What we are doing to prioritize your health:

  • We continually disinfect and sanitize our office spaces, especially in high-touch areas.
  • Our employees wear sanitary gloves and masks at all times.
  • We practice social distancing.
  • We ask that you not schedule an appointment with us if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.

Hurricane Preparedness

A safe, secure, affordable, weather-proof storage unit at Handy Storage is ideal for protecting your belongings should a hurricane affect this region. For your safety and that of your neighbors, we recommend keeping the following items in one of our units during hurricane season:

  • Patio and lawn furniture
  • Gardening and power tools
  • Outdoor decorations
  • Vehicles, including bikes, cars, boats, and RVs

Additional tips to help you prepare for a hurricane:

  • Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Know what happens when a hurricane makes landfall. Start preparing now.
  • Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands your hurricane plan.
  • Learn your evacuation routes and identify where you will stay.
  • Have several ways to receive alerts. Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide. Sign up for community alerts in your area and be aware of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA)- which requires no-sign up.
  • Declutter drains and gutters, bring in outside furniture (store it with us), consider hurricane shutters.
  • Keep your cell phone charged when you know a hurricane is in the forecast and purchase backup charging devices to power electronics.
  • Have enough supplies for your household, including medication, disinfectant supplies and pet supplies in your go-bag or car trunk.
