FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Helpful Tips for Hurricane Season
Attorney Michael Brehne and insurance expert offers advice for the
2013 hurricane season

Orlando, FL (October 4, 2013) – Over the summer, it was predicted that the Atlantic would experience a period of high hurricane activity compared to past years. Oddly enough, hurricane season did not impact Florida as severely as expected.

“According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 2013 season outlook released in the summer, there was a 70 percent chance of 13-20 named storms of which 7-11 could become hurricanes with 3-6 being major hurricanes,” notes insurance attorney Michael B. Brehne. “Although we have had a pretty dormant hurricane season in Central Florida this year, it is still important to remain vigilant. We want to share some reminders to help Florida residents prepare their homes and businesses for the next storm,”

Gather Information. Develop a list of shelters and evacuation areas in your community that you may need to use. Pick a room in your home that is the most secure if shelters are not an option. Develop a plan of action for your family taking into account that you may become separated and need alternative methods to locate one another and communicate.

Prepare an Emergency Kit. The kit should include supplies, food and water. Non-perishable foods should last you and your family a few weeks in the worst-case scenarios. Batteries, rope, flashlights, first aid kits, clothes and a radio will be extremely useful. Plan ahead for what you may need. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Protect Your Home. The biggest concern this season will be the well-being of your home and property. Account for using your hurricane shutters . If you do not own any, consider getting them or using pre-cut plywood that would adequately cover your windows. Store any loose items in your yard to ensure it is not a dangerous item when a storm hits.

Check Insurance Coverage. Is your homeowner’s insurance adequate? How about flood insurance? Hurricanes are major natural disasters that result in massive financial consequences for insurance companies. There are also technicalities that come into play concerning flood claims.
