Most homeowners don't think about storm prep until after the damage is done. Don't wait for a flooded basement or a fallen tree to find out what your insurance covers.
Here are a few things to check off your list before the next big storm:
🏠Trim back overgrown trees and clear your gutters
🔌Charge your backup power banks and check your emergency kit
đź“‹ Pull out your homeowner's insurance policy and read it thoroughly
đź’§ Find out if your area is flood-prone and whether you need a separate flood insurance policy
📸 Take a video walkthrough of your home and belongings
The cost of preparing is almost always less than the cost of recovering. A little time now can help save you thousands later.
