We’re in the midst of severe weather season, and severe weather is how we got our start. 100 years ago (1925), a group of farmers organized to provide lightning insurance for their neighbors and fellow farmers. That organization evolved to become COUNTRY Financial. It’s our home insurance that provides lightning protection today.

Quick tips to keep your home severe weather-ready:
✅ Check your roof regularly for damage, looking for missing shingles, holes or any wear n’ tear that could lead to leaks.
✅ Do you have a basement? Check that your sump pump is working and has a battery backup.
✅ Trim your trees. Falling limbs can do serious damage to your roof, siding or gutters.

But above all else, make sure you have the right home insurance … just in case. Book an appointment and I’ll tell you all about it

Don’t wait until you’re under a severe weather alert to gather supplies and make a safety plan. Start preparing today with these tips.
✔️ Have an emergency plan.
• Decide what your family will do if severe weather is headed your way.
• If you had to evacuate, where would you go? Identify family members or friends who live far enough away for you to get beyond the path of a hurricane, wildfire, or other natural disaster. Tell them you’d like to include them in your emergency evacuation plan and make sure they’re willing to take you in.
• If you have young children, walk through your plan with them, including how they should take shelter in your home.

✔️ Build an emergency preparedness kit. Put together a supply of essentials and safety items in an emergency kit.
Start with the basics:
• Three-to-five-days' supply of bottled water and nonperishable food
• Battery-operated flashlight
• Battery-operated radio and weather radio
• A first-aid kit
• Cell phone charger or battery source for your phone
• Personal hygiene items
• Blankets

✔️ Gather important personal information.
• Make sure you have phone numbers of neighbors, family, friends and utility companies in your phone.
• Keep copies of your insurance and property information in your emergency kit. Many insurers, like us, make this information available through their app. If you’re a client, download our COUNTRY Financial mobile app so these documents are easily accessible.
• Check to see if your healthcare provider offers online resources to store your medical information so it’s easy to access from your phone.
• Keep critical documents, like birth certificates, in a safe or another location you can get to if your home is damaged or destroyed.

✔️ Make sure your home and possessions are covered.
• Create a home inventory with your phone. Save it to the cloud and email a copy to your insurance agent.
• Meet with your insurance agent yearly to review your home insurance policy.
• Check your emergency fund to make sure there’s enough to cover your insurance deductible in case you experience major damage to your home.
