HURRICANE PLANNING

AN IMPENDING STORM

DURING A STORM/POST-STORM

After the Storm:

  • Do what you can to secure all property from further loss. Cover roof damage with tarps and cover windows with plywood.
  • Contact a local contractor to come provide a scope of damage.
  • Contact your insurance Broker or Carrier to report any damage as soon as possible.
  • You may have more than one insurance policy that will respond to the damage.
  • Be sure you are reporting to all carriers where there could be coverage-Property, Auto, Flood and Windstorm.

For those affected, if you have a claim to report always contact your carrier immediately. It’s the fastest way to get claims processed. Insurance carrier claims teams are available 24/7.
