Did you know hurricanes can strike far beyond the coast? When a hurricane moves inland, they’re called tropical storms, and they can be just as destructive.
 
Whatever they’re called when they hit, these storms can cause serious injury and extensive property damage.1
 
Here are important steps you can take before, during, and after hurricanes to stay safer and protect your property. And if you need us after a hurricane, we’re here for you 24/7 online or by phone (800‑243‑5860).
 
 
 
Before Hurricane Season Starts
 
     
•   Plan and practice all potential evacuation routes
 
•   Set a meeting spot in case you get separated
 
•   Know local shelters and which accept pets if needed
 
•   Trim limbs above structures and clear gutters
 
•   Pack an easy‑to‑carry emergency bag
 
•   If you can’t physically evacuate, contact neighbors or authorities to plan
