5 Ways to Lower Your Homeowner's Insurance

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States and causes more than $2 billion in property damage annually. With new storm Katia forming in the Atlantic, we may have another Hurricane hitting Long Island and causing major flooding soon. It is important to have your home prepared ahead of time to minimize losses and ensure your family’s safety. According to Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive, follow these steps to keep your home and family safe in a flood disaster:
Make a Family Emergency Plan Before a disaster hits, plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family. Make sure you know safe routes from your home, workplace and children’s school to shelter on higher ground. Also create a safety kit, or “go bag” with enough drinking water and non-perishable (canned) food to last your family a few days. It should also include a first-aid kit, a battery operated radio, blankets and a flashlight. Keep it near the front door of your home so you can grab it quickly if you are evacuated. And lastly, don’t forget your pets! Have a plan in place for them. Most shelters don’t allow pets, so make sure you know what you will do with them if you are evacuated.
