Today, we’re posting about nonsense … of the password variety, that is.

We’re often asked what the best kinds of passwords to use are. The answer? Avoid choosing a so-called “nonsense” password and opt for a passphrase.

This might look like changing your password from a series of letters, symbols, and numbers to something like “Bluecatsmeowloudly!” Passphrases are easier to remember and keep hackers frustrated, which is what you want.

On the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, we pause to reflect on the tragic events that reshaped our world. On September 11, 2001, acts of terror took nearly 3,000 lives and left an indelible mark on history.

Amidst the darkness, stories of unity and resilience emerged. Ordinary Americans displayed extraordinary heroism, as firefighters, police officers, EMTs, construction workers, and strangers selflessly aided the wounded amidst the chaos.

Following Hurricane Idalia, we want to share our hopes that all of you are safe and sound 💗 If your property sustained damage, know that we’re here to help.

Here are a few initial steps to take:

✔️ Prioritize safety - Leave the property if there are immediate hazards or risks. Do not attempt to survey the damage yourself if it is not safe to do so.
✔️ Document the damage - If it’s safe to do so, take photos or videos of the damage, capturing wide-angle shots and close-ups as evidence for any claims.
✔️ Mitigate further damage - Again – if safe – take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage, such as covering a damaged roof with a tarp. Keep receipts for temporary repairs.
✔️ Give us a call - We can offer clients tailored advice and help facilitate communication with the insurance carrier.

If you have insurance questions or other needs post-storm, don’t hesitate to reach out. Even if you’re not a client, we’re happy to help however we can 🤝
