Inventory your belongings: 

Your belongings, from your furniture to your clothing, from your electronics to your sports equipment, are part of your personal property.  Many people don’t realize just how much all of it is worth.  Compiling a home inventory not only ensures you have the proper coverage on your policy but also makes filing any potential claims that much easier.

Protect your home:

Prepare your supply kit:

• Food – at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
• Flashlight
• First aid kit
• Extra batteries
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
