Hurricane season is quickly approaching, which means that for the coming months, all insurance agents are going to be keeping an eye on the sky and the news. Flooding is expensive and storms in recent years have shown people across the nation the tremendous power of floods. This year, the NFIP is showing how flood insurance is always the winning choice to prepare for the unexpected.
When talking about the weather, we can all agree that being resilient against storms is the goal. The most direct method of being resilient is to have flood insurance. Your clients' homeowners and renters insurance don't cover flood damage. With a dedicated flood insurance policy, you are helping your clients breathe more easily during a storm and rebuild quickly after it ends. To be fully prepared, your clients need to purchase their policies at least 30 days before experiencing a flood.
The 30-day window is, in most cases, non-negotiable and a key reason why you should remind your clients to purchase flood insurance well ahead of hurricane season. The best offense is a strong defense; staying ahead of the storm is the only way to be ready when it hits. Talk to your clients today about flood insurance. Share stories of resilience in the face of flooding, and ensure they're equipped with everything they need to be winners throughout this hurricane season.
