Prepare Yourself Before the Storm

Did you know?

  • Most homeowners' insurance doesn't cover flooding.
  • Just because you don't live in a recent flood zone doesn't mean you're not at risk for flooding.
  • Newtek Insurance Agency offers coverages under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
  • The NFIP covers up to $250,000 for a home and $100,000 for its contents.
  • The NFIP provides coverage for condo owners as well as those who rent.
With hurricane season become less predictable and more destructive, it's more important than ever to make sure your home and belongings are properly covered.

If you find yourself in the path of a storm, here are a few things you can do to prepare:
  • Take photos of your property - Interior of Home, Exterior of Home, Roof, Pool and Pool Area, Fencing, Trees, Front Yard, Back Yard.
  • Document belongings- with proper documentation, you may also be able to recover lost expenses for home contents, personal property, and other items.
  • Have a plan to move yourself and your family - especially those with special needs.
  • Have a plan for your pets. Most emergency shelters won't take pets unless they are service animals.
  • Fill up your gas tank in case you get an emergency evacuation order.
  • Have cash on hand in case the storm knocks out credit card transaction capabilities.
  • Stock up on flash lights and electric lanterns (and batteries) should you lose power. Candles pose a fire risk.
  • Ask your insurance agent to review your flood, mold, and water damage coverage.
