Why do I have to take my shutters down?

After a storm passes, first responders ask that you take down your shutters as soon as you feel your area is safe. Storm shutters must be removed 14 days after a named storm leaves the area. It may be tempting to keep your hurricane shutters all year. However, hurricane shutters, which are designed to protect your home and family during a storm, can be unsafe and even deadly when left on your windows the rest of the year.
