Insurance Reminders

• Find Your Policy.  Locate and familiarize yourself with your property insurance policy. You may also want to reach out to your insurance company contact right away, as there may be certain pre-storm services available as well as policyholder responsibilities to preserve covered property.
• Secure Photos.  We also recommend you take photos of your facilities, buildings, contents, outdoor property, etc. and document them – both pre-storm and post-storm.
• Keep Your Receipts.  We also suggest you keep copies of any receipts for eligible purchases made relating to post-storm loss costs incurred including: costs to preserve or relocate damaged property, costs to minimize or mitigate property damage such as emergency water extraction or tarping, etc. Depending upon the terms of your property coverage, you may be entitled to reimbursement for these expenses.
• Assure Expiring and Renewing Property Policies Are Paid Up and In Force.  The latest storm track indicates Ian will make landfall on or before Friday, September 30^th. The vast majority of local government property insurance policies currently in-force are effective until October 1, 2022, at 12:01 a.m. (*again, please familiarize yourself with your specific policy*). Due to the uncertainty of the speed of the storm, there is always a possibility the storm could slow down and not cause storm-related damages until on or after October 1^st at 12:01 a.m. – meaning property coverage would likely be applicable to your new property insurance policy that begins October 1, 2022, at 12:01 a.m. For this purpose, we recommend making sure your insurance premiums are paid and up to date prior to October 1^st to avoid any coverage complications or cancellations. This applies to both your current in-force insurance policy as well as your new insurance policy effective October 1, 2022, at 12:01 a.m.
