Sometimes hurricane seasons are relatively quiet, but don't let that lull you into false sense of security. After all, it only takes one major storm to devastate your home or business, even if you live miles away from the coast. Ron Nall Insurance Agency, in Andalusia, AL is the area’s leading home insurance and renter's insurance provider. They have recommended some tips to help you prepare early for next year's hurricane season:

  • Clear Overhanging Branches: Flying branches and other debris can cause serious damage, injury, and even death. Check your property and trim dead wood and overhanging branches.
  • Make Sure Outdoor Furniture Is Secured: Secure outdoor furniture, or bring it inside. If you live in a mobile or manufactured home that isn't rated for high wind, identify a local shelter where you and your family will be safer.
  • Plan Ahead: Prepare a Family Plan and practice it at least once a year, so everyone will know exactly what to do during a hurricane.
  • Stock Up: Power outages during hurricanes are common, so stock up on batteries, non-perishable food, a can opener, hygiene supplies, medication, and a first aid kit.
  • Charge Electronics: In the aftermath of a hurricane, communication is key to making sure you get the help you need. Charge all your laptops, cell phones, and tablets, and any replacement batteries. You should also change the batteries in your flashlights and radios.
  • Prepare Your Pets: Have a plan; make sure that pets’ ID tags are up to date, and get them their shots.

Make sure you have all the auto and house insurance coverage you need. Visit Ron Nall Insurance Agency online to learn more, or call (334) 222-3106 to schedule an appointment today.
