Welcome to the Bay Area! As the hurricane season approaches, we want to make sure you and your family are well-prepared in case of any potential storms. Here are some essential tips to safeguard your home and loved ones:
Speak with your insurance broker to understand the necessary steps for preparing your home against hurricanes, ensuring your policy adequately covers damages caused by both hurricanes and floods.
Create a comprehensive inventory of all your possessions or take pictures inside and outside your home. This will prove invaluable for insurance claims in case of any damages.
When a hurricane advisory is issued, collect all outdoor items from your yard and bring them inside. High winds can turn these objects into dangerous projectiles, and floodwaters can carry them away if you live near the coast.
Keep your gas tank filled in case you need to evacuate. Having a full tank ensures you can travel safely if the need arises.
It's wise to have some cash readily available for purchases when credit/debit cards cannot be electronically processed due to power outages.
Prioritize essential supplies such as water, non-perishable food, batteries, flashlights, battery-operated fans, and a first aid kit. These items will be indispensable during and after the storm.
Store extra sets of clothes in waterproof containers for each family member. Also, move valuables like family pictures, electronics, and important documents to upper floors in waterproof storage containers.
Have a supply of prescription medications on hand in case your pharmacy is closed during the hurricane. It's essential to stay prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
