Review Your Insurance Coverage Before the Storm Hits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wait for a hurricane warning to find out what your insurance does\u2014or doesn\u2019t\u2014cover. Review your homeowner\u2019s insurance policy now to make sure you’re protected against the most common storm-related losses. One key detail to check: most standard policies do not<\/strong> include flood coverage. Since flooding is one of the leading causes of hurricane-related damage, consider purchasing a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also verify whether your policy includes Additional Living Expenses (ALE)<\/strong> <\/a>coverage, which helps pay for temporary housing if your home becomes uninhabitable. Make sure your coverage limits reflect the current value of your home and belongings, and double-check your deductible so there are no surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
