Does Taping Windows Stop Storm Damage?
• Taping windows does not prevent storm damage and can create larger, more dangerous shards of glass.
• Effective alternatives include storm shutters, impact-resistant windows, or boarding up windows with plywood.
• The safest option during a storm is to stay away from windows altogether and seek shelter in an interior room.
