- With Hurricane Harvey bearing down on the Texas Gulf Coast and threatening to dump up to 36 inches of rain, it’s a good time to review your homeowners insurance and flood coverage.
- That doesn’t just apply to Texas residents. Even if you’re out of the hurricane’s path, another storm or some other disaster could hit your residence anytime. So find out what you’ll need to do to restore your home and replace damaged belongings as quickly as possible.
- Once the crisis has passed, get in touch with your insurance company or the agent who sold you the policy. The insurance company will assign you an insurance adjuster who will come to examine the damage you’ve suffered. Then the adjuster will document and communicate your losses to the insurance company.
