How to help protect yourself and your family in advance of a storm:
· Conduct a home inventory recording each of your possessions. It’s also helpful to keep track of model numbers and stores where items were purchased. Store your inventory, including photos and videos, in a safe place away from your home.
· Develop an evacuation plan that includes identification of safe areas, escape routes, meeting locations and plans for pets.
· Prepare an Emergency Supply Kit including a three-day supply of water, non-perishable food, radio and batteries, flashlight and first-aid kit.
· Remove any diseased and damaged limbs from trees to keep them from blowing around during a storm and causing property or automobile damage.
· Tie down any lawn furniture and toys that can become projectiles and damage your home, pool or cars.
· Purchase materials such as ¾-inch plywood that can be used to reinforce your windows, doors and garage doors. Install anchors and pre-drill holes for the plywood so you can install them quickly in the event of a storm.
· Install head and foot bolts in doors for extra protection.
Minimize your losses:
· Review your home insurance policy and coverage limits with an agent. Know what you are and are not covered for in the event of a hurricane.
· Find out if you have comprehensive auto coverage for damage to your car caused by falling objects or flood.
· Gather important documents such as insurance policies, birth certificates and identification. Make sure to place them in a waterproof container.
· Make sure you and your family are safe during and after the storm.
