MILWAUKEE, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, natural
disasters in the U.S. cost homeowners and businesses a record $306 billion, according to the
National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 1. While natural disasters can occur at any time
throughout the year, the U.S. government recognizes September as "National Preparedness Month," an effort to encourage Americans
to prepare for emergencies. To help safeguard your valuables, The Master Lock Company provides peace of mind with trusted
security products that help to protect valuable assets no matter the circumstance.
"We understand the value of reliable security, which is why we test our products against the toughest situations, including
