Summer Storms: Don’t Be Caught Off Guard! GFM Can Help You Weather the Storm

Summer, the season of fun and beauty, is the prime time for relaxation. However, in the East Coast, this season hides a familiar danger, that of sudden and powerful storms. These storms can create hazardous conditions, flooding streets, destroying property, damaging buildings and leaving entire communities reeling. These dangers have caught the attention of Global Facilities Managers LTD (GFM), a team of expert facility management workers, ready to prepare your home, property, and community for any possible threats.

The Looming Threat: More Than Just Rain Showers

Summer storms on the East Coast are not just inconvenient. They can be dangerous and unpredictable, bringing:

• Heavy rains: Capable of overflowing drainage systems and causing flash floods in minutes, leading to property damage and potential dangers.
• Strong winds: These can snap branches, topple trees, and down power lines, leaving communities in the dark and facing potential hazards from falling debris.
• Sudden temperature changes: These can stress and damage your landscaping, impacting the look and function of your property.

These storms are a stark reminder that we are not always in control of nature’s power. But we can be prepared to face the next one.

Beyond Beauty: Landscaping as Your Shield

While landscaping may seem purely aesthetic, it can be a crucial defense against summer storms when implemented strategically:

• Drainage solutions: We can improve drainage around your property, ensuring water flows away from buildings and minimizes the risk of flooding. This might involve installing drainage systems, regrading soil, or utilizing natural waterways.
• Tree and shrub care: We regularly inspect and maintain trees and shrubs, removing dead branches and ensuring they are properly pruned. This reduces the risk of falling branches during storms and strengthens them to withstand strong winds.
• Erosion control: We can implement erosion control measures like planting ground cover or installing retaining walls in vulnerable areas. This helps prevent soil erosion from heavy rains, protecting your property and surrounding landscapes.

Harnessing Technology: Smart Solutions for a Safer Future

GFM has and continues to embrace green technology as a tool against environmental threats in the form of:

• Smart irrigation systems: We utilize systems that adjust watering based on real-time weather data. This helps conserve water during dry periods and prevents overwatering during heavy rains, promoting healthy plants and reducing the risk of flooding.
• Early warning systems: We can install systems that monitor weather conditions and alert you to potential threats. This allows you to take precautionary steps before a storm hits, like securing outdoor furniture or bringing potted plants indoors.
