Prepare Now For Any Spring Storms and Floods

March and April is that time of year when severe storms can cause flooding and downed trees, resulting in the loss of power or damage to your home and property. While you can’t
avoid strong thunderstorms, there are ways to prepare in advance to keep your family
and belongings safe. Here are a few tips to help you plan.

Be prepared in the event of a flood!

Gather emergency supplies. It is recommended that every family have a minimum of
three day’s supply of food and water. Throw in a battery powered radio, extra
flashlights, and extra batteries, too.

Create a Family Emergency Plan. Teach your children where to go to seek shelter in
case of a tornado or flash flood,  and how to contact you if you aren’t together at the time of the storm.

Know if you live in a flood prone area. Remember, it takes 30 days to issue a flood
insurance policy! If you need flood insurance, now is the time to get it started.

Know how to shut off utilities, including power, water, and gas to your home. Put the
tools you need in your emergency supply kit.

Find out what your homeowners insurance covers. It is important to understand what is
covered and what your deductibles are in case of damage. Set up a free consultation
and annual review with SAV-ON Insurance Agencies to learn about all of your polices.

Overall, the best way to protect your family is by having the right insurance and taking
extra precautions during storms. If you have any question, give us a call at 888-867-2866.
