🚨 Severe Weather Isn’t Predictable — Your Response Plan Should Be
September is National Preparedness Month. If you’re not ready for severe weather, now’s the time to fix that. Here are 4 strategic steps to help you stay safe and informed:
1️⃣ Know the risks
Traveling for work or vacation? Research local weather threats before you go. Is it hurricane season on the coast? Are tornadoes common in the Midwest? Knowing what to expect helps you plan smarter — like identifying shelter locations or prepping supplies.

2️⃣ Know where to go
Most cities have designated shelters for emergencies. Find them in advance via local websites or city contacts. Don’t wait until the storm hits to figure it out.

3️⃣ Stay connected
Power outages happen. Make sure you have a backup phone charger and a way to reach loved ones and local officials. Staying informed is key to staying safe.

4️⃣ Build your emergency kit before you need it.
Stock up on essentials: food, water, batteries, clothes, and meds for at least 3 days. Don’t forget pets, kids, and elderly family members. Tailor your kit to your household’s needs.

✅ Bonus Tip: Take a quick video inventory of your home. It’s a fast, effective way to simplify insurance claims if disaster strikes. http://bit.ly/4nxbARW

Insurance can feel complicated. Coverage questions. Policy reviews. Claims. The "what ifs."

If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 25 million Americans feel that they are underinsured, while 74 million Americans don’t have any life insurance at all.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Historically, nearly three-quarters of Americans overestimate the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that respondents, 35 and under, who said they were healthy overestimated the price of life insurance 7-10x the actual cost.

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Learn more about life insurance and what options are available to you at countryfinancial.com/life.
