        "text": "While emergencies can happen, you can take several steps to minimize future interior storm damage. Regularly inspect and maintain your roof, gutters, and downspouts to ensure they are clear and functional. Trim overhanging tree branches that could fall during high winds. Reinforce windows and doors, and consider flood barriers if you live in a flood-prone area. Ensuring proper drainage around your home’s foundation also helps. Regular property maintenance by a professional can identify vulnerabilities before a storm hits.",
