Aside from a few rainy days and a couple scattered thunderstorms, New Englanders have been pretty lucky in terms of hurricanes so far this summer. But, I am hesitant to make the assumption that we will be fine for the rest of 2011’s Atlantic hurricane season. Checking with your local Massachusetts Insurance agent to ensure that the coverage on your Massachusetts Home Insurance policy is adequate, is still very important – you cannot make changes to your policy after a storm has been named! But, are you and your family prepared if a storm comes this way?
Ready is a website that helps you to build an emergency supply kit, make an emergency plan for your family and learn more about disasters and the most effective responses to help you stay informed and safe. By visiting Ready America, you can start building your emergency supply kit – this is only useful if you have it ready before the hurricane hits, or is even close, after this point, it becomes more difficult and nerve-racking to try to scramble finding supplies, if that is even an option. This site also guides you through the necessary steps of making an emergency plan – contacts you should have, evacuation strategy, and other emergency information that should be familiar to your family. And lastly, it is critical to be knowledgeable about the potential hazards, general nature of hurricanes as they can come to New England!
Being prepared is the best way to approach a natural disaster, sometimes they come without warning and sometimes there is only a short time period to prepare for what is on its way. If you have any questions about the coverage on your Home Insurance as a Massachusetts resident, call Encharter Insurance today.
