Before a Flood or Earthquake happens – Make a Plan

February 8, 2016 by nanette

Floods can happen anywhere it rains.

Earthquakes can happen at any time.

  1. Buy Flood insurance- Typically, it takes 30 days for a new flood insurance policy to take effect. So get it now.
  2. Take Inventory– Thoroughly document your belongings to support any insurance claims. Visit https://www.knowyourstuff.org/iii/login.html for more information.
  3. Write Down Important Information – have a list of important information and put it in a secure location. Items to include would be:
    • Important Telephone Numbers
    • Names, addresses and phone numbers of your insurance agents, including policy numbers.
    • Telephone numbers of electric, gas, and water companies.
    • Names and phone numbers of your neighbors
    • Name and telephone number of your landlord or property manager
    • Important medical information for you and your family, such as allergies, medications, etc.
    • Vehicle identification number for each of your vehicles, boats, etc.
    • Financial account information – phone, account numbers.
  4. Gather and Store Important Documents in a Fire-Proof Safe:
    • Birth Certificates
    • Ownership Certificates
    • Social Security Cards
    • Insurance Policies
    • Wills
  5. Plan ahead– Create and share a family emergency plan. Make sure it includes evacuation routes from home, work and school. Assemble a safety kit with drinking water, canned food, first aid supplies, blankets, a radio and a flashlight. Learn more at http://www.ready.gov/floods.
  6. Purchase Earthquake Insurance – Purchasing insurance will help guard your financial investment against unlikely and financially devastating damages. We have private insurance companies and CEA to offer.
