Severe weather prep: What homeowners need to know

TOPEKA (KSNT) - While severe weather can be unpredictable, there are steps homeowners can take to be prepared for the worst.

KSNT 27 News spoke with Marc Shepherd who is the senior risk manager at Copeland Insurance in Topeka. He said they see a lot of damage from outdoor furniture and toys. Securing or storing patio chairs, trampolines and hot tub covers can go a long way.

"The bad thing is these are all things insurance probably won't get to your deductible," Shepherd said.
