Understanding:
Storm Damage Types

North Georgia storms produce varied damage patterns—from fallen trees to wind-driven rain. Understanding the damage type helps prioritize emergency response.

Emergency Stabilization First

Fallen Tree Impact

Trees or large limbs puncturing roofs, walls, or fences. Often causes structural openings and immediate weather exposure.

Roof & Wall Openings

Punctures, missing shingles, displaced decking, or siding damage that allows rain and debris into the structure.

Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion

Water entering through compromised roofing, flashing, windows, or exterior walls during high-wind storm events.

Hail & Impact Damage

Hail strikes, flying debris, and wind-driven objects damaging roofing, siding, windows, and exterior finishes.

What to do while waiting for help (& not do)

Quick actions can help minimize damage and keep you safe

Safe actions

  • 1Ensure everyone is safe and account for all household members
  • 2Stay clear of downed power lines and report them to the utility company
  • 3Call for emergency tarping and board-up to prevent further water intrusion
  • 4Take exterior photos of damage from a safe distance
  • 5Move undamaged valuables away from leaking areas if safe to do so
  • 6Contact your insurance company to report the storm loss

Avoid these mistakes

  • 1Do not climb onto a damaged roof or enter structurally compromised areas
  • 2Do not touch downed power lines or trees entangled with electrical wires
  • 3Do not delay temporary weatherproofing—secondary water damage worsens quickly
  • 4Do not remove fallen trees from structures without professional assessment
  • 5Do not use electrical systems in water-damaged areas
  • 6Do not assume minor exterior damage means the interior is unaffected
