If your home happens to be in its path of a hurricane, there’s a good chance it will suffer severe damage or possibly be destroyed. Being properly prepared is a great way to help minimize damage and get your claim paid quickly and fairly.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hurricane season is just around the corner and last year’s extremely active season was a major wake-up call for residents of Florida<\/a>, North Carolina<\/a> and other coastal states.<\/p>\n

In order to help Florida residents make sure they are prepared, People’s Trust Insurance recently released a hurricane preparedness guide to help their customers and homeowners in all coastal states get ready. The guide offers a variety of tools and tips necessary to properly prepare your home for the hurricane season.<\/p>\n

Florida managed to avoid hurricanes for roughly 10 years but that streak came to an end last year when the sunshine state was hit by three named storms: Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew and Tropical Storm Colin. While nobody knows exactly what the current hurricane season will bring, there is a good chance that both Florida and North Carolina could be hit by major storms.<\/p>\n

Properly preparing your home for the hurricane season is key to making sure damage is minimized and your claim is processed quickly and completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope is that our policyholders experience fewer losses so they can get their homes and their lives back to normal as fast as possible,\u201d George Schaeffer, CEO of People\u2019s Trust Insurance said in a press release about the guide.<\/p>\n

Preparing Your Home Is Important<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hurricanes can cause massive amounts of damage across large swaths of land. If your home happens to be in its path there’s a good chance it will suffer severe damage or possibly be destroyed. Being properly prepared is a great way to help minimize damage and get your claim paid quickly and fairly.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Trust Insurance hurricane guide will be distributed during Hurricane Preparedness Week, which is May 7\u201313. The goal of the guide is to help homeowners create emergency contact lists, familiarize themselves with hurricane warnings, watches and evacuation procedures as well as review important safety tips and best practices for children, seniors and pets.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Trust Insurance guide will also contains a do\u2019s and don\u2019ts list as well as a pre-storm checklist.<\/p>\n
