Hurricane Preparedness for Florida Homeowners
Living in Florida means hurricanes are a reality every season from June through November. The right preparation can protect your home, save you thousands in damages, and keep your family safe.
At Jupiter-Tequesta Insurance, we help homeowners in Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast prepare with coverage and guidance you can trust.
Step 1: Review Your Homeowners Policy
Start by reviewing your Homeowners Insurance to understand what’s included. Many standard policies do not cover flood damage, which requires a separate policy. Also, make sure your Hurricane Insurance deductible is clear and affordable.
Step 2: Add Flood Insurance
Even homes outside designated flood zones are at risk. A single storm can bring significant flooding, and without Flood Insurance, you could face devastating out-of-pocket costs.
Step 3: Create a Home Inventory
Document your valuables, take photos, and store digital copies in case you need to file a claim. This step can:
-
Speed up the claims process
-
Ensure you receive fair reimbursement
Step 4: Protect Your Property
-
Install storm shutters or board up windows
-
Reinforce entry doors and garage doors
-
Clear your yard of debris and trim trees to reduce windborne damage
Step 5: Build an Emergency Kit
Prepare an emergency supply kit with essentials such as:
-
Bottled water
-
Non-perishable food
-
Flashlights and batteries
-
Medications
-
Pet supplies
-
Important documents
