Stay Cool and Calm with Michael J Clifford Insurance Services ~ With APPS Shirreff Insurance Services—Your Insurance Lifeguards in a Heatwave!
Dear Valued Clients,
Summer is here, and with it comes the sun, fun, and—unfortunately—heatwaves. But don't sweat it! (Pun intended.) We’ve got you covered with a lighthearted guide to staying cool and prepared during those scorching days. Grab a cold drink, sit back, and enjoy these tips to beat the heat!
1. Hydration: The Original Life Insurance
Remember, water is your best friend. Forgetting to drink water is like forgetting to pay your insurance premium—both can lead to serious trouble. Keep a water bottle with you at all times. Bonus points if it has a picture of a duck on it!
2. Air Conditioning: Your Summer Saviour
Is your A/C acting more like a gentle breeze than an arctic blast? Time to get it checked! Regular maintenance can prevent a breakdown during the hottest day of the year. And if it does break down, at least you’ll have an excuse to visit that overly air-conditioned mall.
3. Dress Code: Light and Breezy
When it’s so hot that even your flip-flops are sweating, it’s time to rethink your wardrobe. Light, loose clothing is key. And remember, sun hats are not just for style—they’re for survival.
4. Sunblock: Your Skin’s Best Friend
Sure, a tan looks great, but sunburns? Not so much. Slather on that SPF like your health depends on it—because it does. Trust us, sunburn insurance isn’t a thing yet, but if it were, we’d recommend it.
5. Stay Indoors During Peak Heat
Between 10 AM and 4 PM, the sun is on a mission to turn you into a human raisin. Plan indoor activities during these hours. Maybe it’s time to binge-watch that show you’ve been meaning to catch up on. Air conditioning and Netflix? Now that’s a winning combo.
6. Car Safety: It’s Hotter Than You Think
Ever tried to sit on a leather car seat after it’s been baking in the sun? It’s like sitting on molten lava. Keep your car cool with sunshades, and never, ever leave pets or kids inside. Seriously, they won’t appreciate the sauna experience.
7. Check on Neighbors and Pets
Be a good neighbor. Check on elderly neighbors and make sure they’re staying cool. And don’t forget about your furry friends—they need shade, water, and a little extra love during heatwaves.
8. Emergency Preparedness Kit
Stock up on essentials like batteries, a flashlight, and non-perishable snacks. Think of it as your summer survival kit. And don’t forget the ice cream!
9. Insurance Review: Better Safe Than Sorry
Take this time to review your insurance policies. Make sure you’re covered for all those summer mishaps, like heat-related equipment failures or impromptu pool parties gone wrong. We’re here to help if you need any adjustments.
Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy your summer! If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to call us at 253-858-9879. After all, we’re your biggest fans—literally and figuratively.
P.S. If you follow all these tips and still find yourself melting, consider relocating to the North Pole. We hear it’s lovely this time of year.
