How can Florida homeowners prepare for Hurricane Season?
Preparation Tips for Florida Residents
- Review Insurance Policies: Ensure your homeowner’s insurance covers hurricane-related damages. If you are in a flood zone or are at risk of flooding acquire any needed flood insurance.
- Emergency Kit: Assemble a kit with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents.
- Evacuation Plan: Know your evacuation routes and have a plan in place for where to go if an evacuation is ordered.
- Home Maintenance: Inspect your property for vulnerabilities and make repairs accordingly. Pay close attention to your roof for any loose shingles, or look out for clogged gutters.
- Take pictures and videos of your home asap: In the event your home is damaged by a hurricane, having pictures and videos of your home before the damage occurs can help strengthen your claim and help avoid any attempts for your insurance company to blame pre-existing conditions as the cause for the damage your home sustained during the storm.
- Stay Informed: Monitor updates from the NHC and local authorities for the latest information on storm developments.
Given Florida’s vulnerability to tropical systems, delaying your preparation is not advised.
