Insurance Tips> Hurricane Preparation

Preparation:

  • Prepare an evacuation plan
  • Assemble a disaster supply kit

When a hurricane watch is issued:

  • Bring objects such as lawn furniture and trash cans inside
  • Cover all windows of your home with shutters or plywood
  • Fill your car's gas tank
  • Recheck tie-downs
  • Check batteries and stock up on canned food, first aid supplies, drinking water, and medications

When a hurricane warning is issued:

  • Listen to the advice of local officials, and leave if told to do so
  • Be aware that the calm "eye" is deceptive; the storm is not over
  • Be alert for tornadoes
  • Stay away from floodwaters. If you come upon a flooded road, turn around and go another way.
