🏠 Know Your Coverage Before Disaster Strikes

Homeowners insurance is an important part of disaster preparedness. Having coverage in place before a storm, flood, fire, or other disaster can help you recover faster by supporting repairs, replacing belongings, and covering temporary living expenses.

Take time now to review your policy and understand what is — and is not — covered. Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage, so a separate flood insurance policy may be needed, especially for homes in low-lying, river, coastal, or flood-prone areas.

✅ Review your policy limits, deductibles, and exclusions
✅ Keep photos or video of your home and belongings
✅ Store policy numbers and your agent’s contact information in a safe place
✅ Ask your insurance agent what coverage you may need before disaster strikes

FEMA assistance is not a substitute for insurance. Preparing now can help expedite claims, repairs, and recovery after a disaster.
