Hurricane Prep Checklist for Homeowners

✅ 1. Review Your Home Insurance
Ensure your policy covers wind and flood damage. Many standard policies do not include flood insurance, so check your coverage early.

✅ 2. Protect Your Property

• Install or check shutters and impact-resistant windows

• Clear gutters and downspouts

• Trim tree limbs and secure outdoor furniture

• Know how to shut off water, gas, and electricity

✅ 3. Create an Evacuation Plan
Identify your evacuation zone, route, and destination. Practice with your family and pets.

✅ 4. Prepare a Hurricane Kit
Include water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies, essential medications, and copies of important documents.

✅ 5. Back Up Important Documents
Store insurance papers, real estate records, and mortgage info digitally AND in a waterproof container.
