How To Prepare For Hurricane Season


Worldwide climate change means that we can expect more frequent and stronger storms, making proper preparation for hurricane season in Florida more important than ever. With the right combination of documentation, repairs, and steps to take when a storm is approaching, damage to your property can be reduced and your ability to collect what you’re entitled to from your insurance company can be maximized. Even when homeowners do everything right, insurance companies will sometimes delay or deny hurricane damage claims. The Miami-Dade and Broward County hurricane damage claim lawyers at the Innocent Law Firm understand how much restoring your home means to you. Call 954-903-1737 for a free consultation.


Steps To Take Before Hurricane Season


These are the steps you should take every year before hurricane season:


Update Photos: Take a full set of photos of the interior and exterior of your home that highlight its pristine condition. Don’t forget to include valuable items such as rugs and antiques.


Read Your Policy: Check your policy to make sure that hurricane, flood, and wind damage are not excluded and that money is set aside to cover your deductible. If there are exclusions, you might want to consider adding coverage.


Mitigation Plan: Adding storm shutters, moving patio furniture into the garage, reinforcing roofs, and other mitigation measures could help you reduce the amount of damage to your property.


Proper preparation can reduce the amount of damage to your home and personal property and streamline the processing of your insurance claim.
