Hurricane preparedness is on everyone's minds during this time of year and being prepared in case of emergency is very important. There are many things that need to be taken care of in your home for the hurricane season, but did you know that one of the most important things to take care of is your computer? If you are like most people, you probably keep personal information such as bank accounts and family photos saved on your personal computer. There is always the possibility of everything being lost the very second there is a power surge or if your home floods. 

Here are some tips to help your computer survive this hurricane season:

• Have a data backup plan in place and make sure your data is backed up properly. Do not assume that your information will not be lost.
• Keep all software CDs and documentation in a safe place in case your computer's operating system needs to be re-installed.
• Shutdown your computer and disconnect all power, network, and phone lines during a lightning storm.
• Place your computer on a desk or table, instead of leaving it on the floor (especially if you keep your office on the first floor of your home).
• If your computer does get wet, do not turn it on. Have a professional look at it first.
• Have a computer professional provide an insurance estimate in case your computer does get ruined.
