With hurricane season underway, it's important to ensure your home stays safe and sound! 🌦️

Here are some tips to prepare your property for the season:

🏠 Check your area's hurricane history and floodplain zone to understand local wind and water hazards.

🏠 Create or update your evacuation plan, making sure everyone knows it. Set up group texts for efficient communication.

🏠 Keep a list and a two-week supply of all medications, anticipating pharmacy closures.

🏠 Be ready to evacuate, with a “go bag” that includes food/water for at least three days, flashlights/batteries, and a first aid kit. Also, include cash and copies of key documents in waterproof bags.

🏠 Be prepared to shelter in place with sufficient food, water, and supplies for a week.

🏠 Consult with your agent to ensure your insurance coverage is adequate and up-to-date.

If you sustain damage after a hurricane, give us a call. We can offer clients tailored advice and help facilitate communication with the insurance carrier. Even if you’re not a client, we’re happy to help however we can 🤝

Spring is here, and it's the perfect time to talk classic car insurance! Whether you own a vintage beauty or plan to, here's the scoop:

🔍 Classic vs. Regular Insurance - Classic car insurance is tailor-made for vintage vehicles (typically 25-30+ years old) and unique rides like modern muscle, exotics, and replicas. Unlike regular insurance, it uses Guaranteed Value, ensuring you get the full insured amount in case of a total loss.

🛣️ Usage Restrictions - Keep in mind that classic car insurance is for pleasure use only – no commuting or shopping trips covered!

🏡 Storage Requirements - Most policies require secure storage when your classic isn't on the road. Details vary by state and underwriting guidelines.

🚦 Driver Eligibility - Driver requirements can vary, depending on the state and underwriter.

Happy Leap Day! Did you know that this day was first introduced in 46 B.C. by Julius Caesar? 🤯

On this special day that doesn’t come around every year (literally!), we thought we would share some interesting facts about leap years.

🔥🌧️🏠 Property damage can happen unexpectedly. And while you can’t always prevent such incidents, you can prevent further headaches by approaching the claim process appropriately.

With that in mind, here are some general post-property damage guidelines to file away:

1️⃣ Ensure safety, evacuate the premises if needed, and contact authorities for emergencies.

2️⃣ Notify your agent ASAP, and document all conversations with the carrier.

3️⃣ Take photos/videos of damage, and make a list of lost items and their estimated value.

4️⃣ Take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, like placing tarps over leaks or shutting off utilities. Keep receipts/invoices for temporary repairs, lodging, and supplementary costs.

5️⃣ Do not make permanent repairs or dispose of damaged items before consulting with your agent. Ensure cleaners/contractors know what can and cannot be removed from the property.

6️⃣ Be wary of individuals who may be taking advantage of a situation by sweeping into your neighborhood after a catastrophic event. And remember, never pay for services upfront.

We hope you never deal with extensive damage to your property, but we want you all to be armed with knowledge in the event you do.

If so, it’s important to keep in mind that a standard homeowners policy might not cover it fully (or at all) if it gets lost or stolen. When it comes to …

✅ Fine jewelry
✅ Watches
✅ Fine art
✅ Luxury items
✅ Sports memorabilia
✅ Other collectibles

… an affordable supplemental policy may be necessary, ensuring your valuable items are safeguarded 💰

2️⃣ Responsible Alcohol Service - Keep an eye on alcohol consumption, provide non-alcoholic options, and encourage guests to arrange alternative transportation to avoid any drinking and driving.
3️⃣ Food for Thought - Don't forget to clearly label dishes with allergen/ingredient info to protect guests with allergies or specific dietary needs.
4️⃣ Check Your Insurance - Review your homeowners insurance policy before the event. Make sure it provides the right liability coverage in case of unexpected incidents. Stay protected!
