The 2014 Hurricane season begins on June 1^st! Now is a great time to remind your client’s to review their coverage since hurricane’s are so closely associated with insurance. The hurricane season will last through November 30^th. Although each hurricane season is unique, you should prepare the same way every year because these powerful tropical storms that are predicted wreak havoc on communities when they make landfall. It is beneficial that severe weather such as hurricanes and tropical storms can normally be tracked days ahead of any impact which provides ample time to prepare for a potential evacuation. In spite of such warnings and tracking, each year thousands are left unprepared for these devastating storms and have to deal with their aftermath.

Let your client’s know that generally, there are three essential steps to disaster and emergency preparedness:

1.)    Have a disaster supply kit – Click here to download our Disaster Preparedness Checklist
