When severe weather happens, people need to take steps to protect their homes. In an area that often has excessive rain and sometimes floods, people fill sandbags to create a barrier to protect their home from flooding. They may also want to be sure that their rain gutters are clear, so that water properly drains off of the roof. Properly sealing windows with a material called caulk helps to ensure that water cannot get into the home through windows.
