Hurricane Season is Here: Is Your Insurance Ready?

Hurricane season is a fact of life for Louisiana residents. While we can’t control the weather, we can take steps to make sure our homes, vehicles, and families are protected before a storm arrives.

Review Your Homeowners Insurance

Many homeowners assume their policy covers all hurricane-related damage, but that’s not always the case. Take time to review:

• Your dwelling coverage limits
• Wind and hail deductibles
• Roof coverage endorsements
• Personal property protection
• Additional living expense coverage

Understanding your policy before a storm can help prevent surprises during the claims process.

Don’t Forget About Flood Insurance

One of the biggest misconceptions is that homeowners insurance covers flood damage. In most cases, it does not.

Just a few inches of water can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home and belongings. Flood insurance provides protection that standard homeowners policies typically exclude.

Check Your Auto Insurance Coverage

Severe weather can bring flooding, falling trees, flying debris, and other hazards. Comprehensive coverage helps protect your vehicle from many storm-related damages.

If you’re unsure what coverage you have, now is the perfect time to review your policy.

Create a Home Inventory

Document your belongings before hurricane season peaks.

• Take photos and videos of each room
• Save receipts when possible
• Store documents digitally
• Keep insurance information in a safe location

A home inventory can make the claims process much smoother if damage occurs.

Prepare Before the Storm Forms

Insurance companies may limit coverage changes or new policy purchases when a storm is approaching. Waiting until a hurricane is in the Gulf may be too late.

The best time to review your coverage is now.
