It is incredibly important to be proactive and take the necessary steps to minimize storm damage. This will lower the risk of property damage and ultimately save you from any stress or expenses.
- Determine if your home is in a Hurricane Evacuation Zone & Have an Emergency Action Plan in place with tenants providing multiple options.
- Organize important documents and confirm your coverage with your insurance company.
- Prior to Hurricane Season, have a professional Arborist prune trees on the property. Broken, dead or damaged tree branches can be torn from trees during a storm and cause damage to cars or your home.
- Take photos of the property prior to Hurricane Season to use if you end up filing an insurance claim.
- Make sure your windows are weather tight.
- Lock down or put away any loose outdoor items ie: Patio Furniture.
- Make sure any fencing is secure.
Once the storm has passed, asses the property for damage or potential threats.
