“When it comes to hurricane and storm preparation, now is always the right time.”Protect your documents and valuables.
Most homeowners’ policies do not cover flood damage, and flood insurance policies generally take 30 days to become effective.
Move pantry items and a supply of bottled water to high, secure shelves, so they will be safer from floodwaters.
Board up your windows to prevent leaks and broken glass, and, where necessary, secure doors with storm shutters.
