🌀 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hurricane Prep Week tip today is all about preparedness—having a plan and building your emergency kit before the storm is on the radar.

When you’re gathering supplies like food, water, batteries, and first aid, don’t forget to prep your insurance essentials too. 📄

Here’s what to check now:
✔️ Make sure you have an active homeowners insurance policy
✔️ Secure a flood insurance policy (flood isn’t covered by homeowners!)
✔️ Review your auto policy to make sure it fits your storm risk (we can help 🙂)
✔️ Download your insurance company’s mobile app – this is the fastest and easiest way to file a claim if you experience damage

🔎 Important distinction:
Brightway is your insurance agency—we help you choose and manage the right policy. Your insurance company is who your policy is with. They set your pricing and handle all claims.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Prep Week tip today is Know Your Risk - Hurricanes bring more than just strong winds. Storm surge, heavy rainfall, and inland flooding can impact areas far from the shoreline. Every homeowner should understand their local risk—even those who don’t live right on the coast.

This is also the time to check your insurance coverage. Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage, and flood insurance typically has a 30-day waiting period before it goes into effect.

Not sure what your current policy includes?
✅ Reach out to your Brightway Agent to get a flood insurance policy in place before the next storm
✅ Use our chat feature to review your policy and get service questions answered fast: http://customer.brightway.com
