Don’t Get Caught Off Guard: Hurricane Preparedness
In light of Hurricane Beryl forecasting, we want to remind you to be prepared this hurricane season. Here are some essential tips to ensure your safety and readiness:
- Make a plan for evacuation: Identify evacuation routes and have a plan in place for where you will go if evacuation is necessary.
- Gather disaster supplies: Stock up on water, non-perishable food items, batteries, a battery-powered radio, and cash. Supplies tend to disappear quickly when a hurricane approaches.
- Review your insurance documents: Ensure your insurance coverage is adequate for potential damages and losses.
- Document your property: Take photos or videos of the inside and outside of your home and its contents before leaving, and again upon your return.
- Secure important documents: Take your birth certificates, social security cards, family photos, and other valuable documents with you if you evacuate.
- Emergency contact numbers: Keep handy the phone number to file insurance claims and contact information for roofing companies for quick tarping if needed.
- Keep records of expenses: Save all evacuation receipts and record mileage if evacuation becomes necessary.
