Hurricane Season is Here: How to Prepare and What to Do
Essential Insurance Tips for the Season
As hurricane season approaches, it's crucial for property owners from the Gulf Coast to the mid-Atlantic region to review and strengthen their insurance coverage. Hurricanes bring powerful winds and potentially devastating flooding, making comprehensive preparedness essential. Entoro Insurance Services (EIS) offers specialized hurricane insurance that not only protects your physical property but also covers potential business interruptions and additional living expenses.
Enhanced Coverage for Peace of Mind: Our hurricane insurance provides robust coverage for damages caused by hurricane winds and flood-related losses. Understanding the extent of this coverage is key, as it includes not only repairs but also the costs associated with displacement or operational downtime. As we've seen in the that last month with Hurricane Beryl in the Houston area, being proactive in your insurance choices can mean the difference between a swift recovery and prolonged hardship.
Practical Preparations for Hurricane Season:
- Emergency Kits: Ensure that you have emergency kits ready with non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and critical medications. It’s advisable to have these kits both at home and in your vehicle.
- Home Fortification: Take steps to fortify your home. This can include installing storm shutters, reinforcing garage doors, and securing loose outdoor items that can become projectiles in high winds.
- Backup Power: Consider investing in a generator to maintain electricity during power outages. Ensure it's installed safely and that you have enough fuel stored in a safe location.
- Communication Plans: Establish clear communication plans with your family and employees. Everyone should know where to go and what to do if they are not together when a hurricane strikes.
- Insurance Review: Regularly review your insurance policy to ensure it meets your current needs, especially before hurricane season begins. Understand your deductibles and limits, particularly for flood damage which often requires additional coverage.

Overcoming Hurricane Beryl
In July, a manufacturing company in Harris County, Texas, faced the full force of Hurricane Beryl. Thanks to their updated policy with EIS, which included enhanced flood protection and business interruption insurance, the company was able to quickly recover after the storm. Despite widespread power outages and some flooding, the prompt claims service and comprehensive coverage allowed them to resume operations within a week, minimizing financial impact and preserving critical client relationships.
