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.

Why invest the time to do an inventory of your home? Think about this. If something were to happen to your home and the belongings inside of it were destroyed, could you list every item you own right then in that moment?

Probably not. That’s why you should do one. It’s easier to do than you think and only takes about 10 minutes. We’ll show you how.

✔️ Use your phone – Capturing it on video is the most efficient way to do a home inventory. The more detailed you are, the better it will be. You don’t need to capture video of everything you own. But you do need to go room by room and show what you can see.

✔️ Use narration – This is a key step. Use your words and describe what you’re recording. To make things easier, do a video clip for each room in your home (don’t forget closets and the garage).

✔️ Focus on big-ticket items – Think of things like flat screen TVs, computers, expensive furniture and valuables (jewelry, etc.). If those items have stickers with serial or product numbers, zoom in and show those in your video.

✔️ Save the video in the cloud – If you only save your video on your computer, what happens if it’s destroyed along with your other stuff? That’s why you should email it to yourself, share it with your spouse or relative, or send it to your insurance agent.

✔️ Update your home inventory once a year – Check in with your insurance agent annually to discuss any major purchases you’ve made since the last time you did an inventory. Be sure to add those new items to your update.

Planning a vacation or is a big trip just around the corner? Before you hit the road, here are six simple tips to help keep your home and belongings secure while you’re gone. ​
✅ Stash your stuff in a safe - Before you leave, place your valuables in a locked safe or safe deposit box. If those aren’t options for you, make sure valuables aren’t in plain sight or in an obvious place.​
✅ Hire a sitter - If you have a pet, you can either hire a pet-sitter or drop Fido off at the local doggie daycare. For pet-free homes, consider hiring a house sitter to help water plants and check in on your home every couple of days. ​
✅ Stop your mail - A tell-tale sign no one’s home is when a mailbox is overflowing and packages are stacked on the porch. Before you leave town, swing by your local post office or fill out their online form to put a hold on your mail. ​
✅ Smart home technology - Burglars aren’t the only thing to worry about while you’re away. Installing smart home technology can help you keep an eye on your home from afar. Many companies offer a variety of smart home technology like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, garage sensors and water leak detection – so if water is detected in your basement or a smoke alarm is going off, your smart phone is alerted immediately. ​
✅ Keep your landscaping tidy - If you’re going on an extended trip, hire a landscaping company to cut your grass or shovel your driveway. Anything you can do to keep your property looking fresh can deter thieves from breaking in. ​
✅ Be careful on social media - This is nothing new, but something that’s definitely still happening. If you post you’re on vacation, online predators know your house is empty and waiting for them.

Adam knows the value of having a plan and peace of mind if the worst happens. That’s what life insurance can do — help you prepare for the unknown, so you can live the life you love. Here’s more about life insurance.
What is life insurance?
Life insurance provides your family with money to pay debt, funeral expenses, etc. if you die. You pay your insurance company a premium. In return, your beneficiaries (the people you select) get the death benefit.
—
Types of life insurance
Term life insurance: Coverage for a specific amount of time. If you die during that time, your beneficiaries get the death benefit.
Permanent life insurance: Lifetime coverage that builds cash value.
—
How does life insurance work?
For a term policy, select a policy term and the amount of money you’d like your beneficiaries to get if you die during that time.
For a permanent policy, if you make the required payments and don’t let the policy lapse, you get lifetime coverage. Plus, you can access the policy’s cash value while you’re alive.

Why do I need life insurance?
Here are the top five reasons people get life insurance*:
• Funeral expenses
• Wealth transfer
