ARE YOU READY FOR HURRICANE SEASON?
3 THINGS TO DOUBLE-CHECK THIS SPRING
1. Your Family Hurricane Plan — What will your family do if a hurricane approaches your home? How will you cover your windows, secure your roof, and ensure you have water and cool air? Do you have a plan in place in case of a power outage or evacuation? Talk these things through with your family. 2. Your Hurricane Emergency Kit — You should have basic supplies on hand in case of a tropical storm, including three days of nonperishable food and water, a first-aid kit, a battery-operated radio, a manual can opener, and a waterproof container for cash and vital documents. For a full list of recommended items, visit StateOfFlorida.com/Articles/Hurricane- Preparedness-Guide. 3. Your Property Insurance Coverage — Hurricanes and other tropical storms can cause massive damage to your property and even destroy your home. Before hurricane season hits, make sure your property insurance covers wind damage. If it doesn’t, consider purchasing separate hurricane insurance. Your hurricane plan and emergency kit will protect your family’s lives, and your property insurance should save you thousands of dollars in repair costs. But, unfortunately, sometimes insurance companies drag their feet or refuse to pay what they owe. If that happens to you or someone you love this hurricane season, call our team at 1-833-529-5677. Our experienced property insurance attorneys will make sure you get a fair settlement offer.
You might not want to think about hurricane season yet, but unfortunately, storms are coming earlier each year. Over the last
decade, the U.S. has experienced 10 named tropical storms before the official start of hurricane season on June 1. It’s so bad that, this spring, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) debated pushing hurricane season up two weeks! Ultimately, they left the date alone, but Tropical Weather Outlooks will start coming out on May 15. With that in mind, it’s best to be ready for anything!
As we mentioned on Page 1, our team has always taken hurricane preparedness seriously. We gave our employees the ability to work from home early on just in case of a storm, and that helped us cope with COVID-19 lockdowns. But how prepared are you for hurricanes this year? To keep your property and family safe, double-check these three things before May 15.
