With increased tropical storm activity affecting much of the Gulf Coast, we wanted to make sure our friends, family, and customers take appropriate steps to prepare for Hurricane Season. Print and complete the checklist below before it's too late! Preparing for the storm: o Designate an out-of-area contact that your family members can call in case you are separated. o Place your insurance documents and other important documents (e.g. birth certificates and vehicle registrati...ons) in a waterproof bag and keep them with you. o If there is time, board up windows and place sandbags around your property. o Secure any loose items from your yard, like trash cans, lawn furniture, tools, etc. If you're forced to evacuate: o Turn off breaker boxes prior to evacuating: This will help prevent electrical surges from destroying your appliances. Also, in the event of water infiltration, this step prevents shorts that can lead to fires. o Turn off your water. Downed trees and broken limbs often lead to broken water pipes. Those pipes in turn could lead to serious water damage, even with no flooding. o Never drive through standing water. Underlying currents could carry your vehicle away or trap you in rising floodwater. Find an alternate route. Know your evacuation route and follow the direction of your state and local officials. After the storm: o Be prepared AHEAD OF TIME to file a claim, either directly with your carrier if they allow, or through your agent. If you have any questions about preparing for severe weather or need assistance, please call our office. Be safe. Be prepared. We're here to help. The entire Morris & Templeton team is ready to rapidly respond when a flood disaster occurs. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
