Purchase or upgrade any insurance policies.
Insurance companies typically will not issue new homeowners coverage in the days or hours before a storm comes ashore. Take the time to check your policy and talk with your agent before a storm threatens, to ensure that you have the proper coverage in place.
Here are some tips.
|
Check for Flood Insurance needs
Flood Insurance Program - Get quick quotes and good information |

Think about moving to S. Dakota (just kidding)
|
Document insurable items. Get that digital camera or that camcorder going and keep records of your home, it's contents and your valuables. Store this in a safe place, preferably with family in other states or safety deposit box.
Document your home inventory (free home inventory software) |
Be aware - get involved - in your community and what they are doing about your safety.
|
Keep yards trimmed - report branches around electrical wires to FPL
|
| Make any necessary home repairs to structure |
Purchase storm shutters (could be about a 4-5 month wait) - buy plywood if needed
|
| Consider purchasing a gas generator (before they are sold out) |
