Are You Hurricane-Ready?

There are a lot of things to love about September. The beginning of fall and the start of football season are important are just a few of the things we have been looking forward to. There is another important distinction that makes September important to us: hurricane preparedness.

September is Hurricane Preparedness Month, so we wanted to reach out to you and give you some tips so that you are ready when the storms hit. 

One thing you may not know is that you cannot update your homeowners insurance to include hurricanes or floods once the storm enters the Gulf of Mexico. The first thing you should do is speak with your provider to make sure you are covered. 

Once you’ve done that, there are three main steps you should take:

1. Make a plan
2. Build a kit
3. Get informed

We’ve got you covered on all three fronts with the links we’ve provided below.

Texas Prepares has information on each of these three steps at their website here. 

We’ve also found some other great resources for you on the internet, including some hurricane safety checklists, and an extended list of items to pack in your kit here. We also found some great information on home preparation during hurricanes.

If you have any questions for us at all, we would love to hear from you. Give us a call or send us an email; we look forward to talking with you soon.
