Packing Services In Emergency Evacuations: Why It Might Be The Best Thing You've Ever Paid For
A packing service in any moving situation is helpful. A packing service in an emergency evacuation? That has to be priceless. Here is why this moving service has to be the best thing you will ever pay for when you are faced with the following natural disasters.
During an Evacuation for a Hurricane
The good news about this type of disaster is that modern weather forecasting alerts you days in advance of the coming hurricane. That gives you just enough time to find and hire a moving company to come pack everything they can and put it either on one of their trucks or in your vehicle(s) so that you can get out of town before the hurricane hits. Any moving company that provides this service will also want to evacuate themselves, so be aware that they will probably not be willing to help eight to twelve hours before the hurricane is expected to hit land.
During a Wildfire
Wildfires ravage the western coast and parts of the Northwest almost every year. These fires destroy thousands of acres of land, and if you are one of the unlucky homeowners with a house in the way of the path of the fire, you will probably lose your house to it. Getting out when it looks like the fire is heading your way is essential, but prioritizing what to take with you is hard.
Packers from a packing service can help. They can show you exactly what to take that is of real value to you and your family and leave behind any extraneous items that can be replaced or that have no sentimental or monetary value. When you know that a wildfire is about four days away from you, this service really helps put things in perspective and figure out what to pack and what to save as you evacuate yourself and your family to avoid a tragedy.
CDC Evacuations
This type of evacuation is rare, but it does occur. When the CDC gets involved and asks people who are healthy and not showing signs of an outbreak or pandemic to leave an area immediately, you leave the area. You pack up what you can, lock your house down, and get out of town.
This is another situation where packing for an emergency is akin to looking at everything you have and saying goodbye to it in case you are never allowed to return. The packing service you hire can help you load up as much of your belongings as they can into a pull-behind trailer or into a truck, and then you can leave. You can also empty your home and store everything in a storage unit somewhere until you can either return to your home after the all clear has been sounded or until you have found a new abode.
