Hurricane Preparedness Tips for Coastal Residents

• Have Enough Insurance – Have both flood and windstorm insurance. If you don’t have them already, now is the time to add these coverages.

• Avoid Surprises – Read your policy before a storm hits. Understanding how you’re covered can help you navigate the claims process more easily.
