Review Home Insurance Policies

One of the most important hurricane preparedness steps is confirming adequate home insurance coverage to weather storm damages. The White Oak guide recommends contacting a knowledgeable agent to review current policies and address any gaps.

Key coverages Georgia homeowners need:

Wind damage insurance to cover repairs from high winds. Standard policies may exclude wind damage.

Flood insurance to cover flooding damage. This requires a separate policy from the National Flood Insurance Program.

Replacement cost coverage to fully rebuild if a home is completely destroyed.

According to White Oak Insurance, reviewing insurance policies now can save homeowners significant heartache and expenses later. The agency is prepared to help customize coverage to protect Georgia families this hurricane season.

Create a Home Inventory

Maintaining a detailed home inventory can make filing insurance claims much smoother after hurricane destruction. The guide advises cataloging possessions room-by-room, including model numbers, purchase prices, photos, and more. Store digital and paper copies securely.
