July has been a disaster-riddled month for people across America. Floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes—we’ve seen them all this year, and more will likely strike. While we can’t prevent natural disasters, we can be prepared for them. Don’t risk forever losing your precious documents, photos and family memories. Here’s food for thought:
Did You Know...As insurance claims go, the top catastrophes are:
Water damage unrelated to weather (sewer back-ups, pipes bursting, etc.)
Weather-related water damage
Theft
Fire damage
Electrical fire damage
Personal injuries on property (slips, falls, dog bites, etc.)
See resources below for damage-prevention tips.
Here are more proactive measures:
Insurance
Do you have drain back-up coverage?
Flood insurance? It’s separate and requires a rider on your homeowner’s policy.
Do you review your policy annually with your agent? Policies change each year. Make sure your coverage remains optimal.
Save your receipts. Insurance often requires them.
