Coastal Homeowners from TX to ME Only Half-Prepared To Recover From Major Storm

Thursday, July 13th, 2006 Property

According to a new Hurricane Readiness Index released July 6, the average insured homeowners throughout Gulf and Atlantic coastal communities have taken just half the steps which would best position them to recover from a major storm. The Index is based on a survey which asked individuals to whether they had taken eight key preparedness steps, including whether they have an inventory of their possessions, whether they feel they have enough homeowners or federal flood insurance, and whether they have critical documents ready to go in case of evacuation. The poll was taken for seven of the nation’s leading property and casualty insurance companies.
