Hurricane Readiness Checklist

Now is a good time to schedule a policy review, please call our office or stop by.

• Review coverage details: Confirm what your policy covers for wind/storm surge and any excluded damage.

• Understand flood coverage: Standard homeowners' and renters' insurance usually do not cover flood damage; flood insurance may be separate.

• Check deductibles & limits: Know your hurricane/wind deductibles and coverage caps before a storm hits.

• Update your home inventory: Keep photos, receipts, and a recent list of major items (or use a home inventory app).

• Know your claims process: Save your insurer’s claim number and understand what documentation you’ll need.

• Store records safely: Keep copies of policy documents and your inventory in the cloud or a secure offsite location.

Q: What kind of insurance do I need for a leased vehicle?

A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. Joe is proud to serve the Pensacola community.

Q: How would you explain renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. Serving Pensacola and the surrounding area, Joe can help answer your questions.

Q: Do you have to have home insurance?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Have questions? Joe in Pensacola can walk you through your options.

Q: How does life insurance work at a basic level?

A: Life insurance is designed to help provide financial support to your loved ones if something happens to you. It can help cover expenses like daily living costs, debts, or future needs, depending on the type of policy and coverage you choose. Joe works with Pensacola residents to find coverage that fits.
