Storm Preparedness and Response

Before the Storm

  • OBTAIN INSURANCE NOW! Most insurance policies have a 30-day waiting period. Wind and Hail policies cover storm damages caused by wind and/or hail while flood insurance only covers flood. You do NOT have to be in a flood zone in order to obtain flood insurance. See Flood Insurance Information for details.
