Are you Adequately Prepared for Hurricane Season?
One of the most common questions received for the upcoming hurricane season is ‘how do I know if I have the right coverage in place,’ and it’s a great question. Now–before storm season begins–is the right time to evaluate your coverage. Once a storm appears and is on its way, you will lose the opportunity to purchase or modify your coverage. The answer is that there’s no one-size-fits-all insurance policy out there, but there are specific tips to keep in mind as you review your current coverage.
Homeowners need enough insurance coverage to cover: the structure of the home, its contents such as furniture, electronics and all other personal belongings, and the cost of living in the event that you must vacate your home while it’s being repaired. Potential liabilities must also be taken into consideration when shopping for an insurance policy.
If you need help understanding your insurance coverage, or are in the market for a policy, call us (BB Insurance Marketing) or contact your BBIMI insurance agent to have a discussion on whether or not your coverage adequately meets your needs. As experts, we can walk you through personalized options to modify your coverage to best protect you.
Beyond the proper amount of coverage, many of you inquire as to whether or not your insurance company has the financial strength to withstand a major storm should one head Florida’s way this year. The answer is that Florida’s property insurance market is strong, competitive and is fit to respond to catastrophe if necessary.
Hurricane season is around the corner, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so take the time to invest in your family’s hurricane prevention plans. You’ll be glad you did.
