• Care for all maintenance on any key systems like a backup generator, humidifier/dehumidifier, pool filters and the like

• Note any water marks on your ceiling for a roof leak or system leak if you have any building systems in your attic or upper floors

• Secure your home - lock and check all doors and windows
