7. Review your insurance policy to ensure that you have adequate
coverage for your home before a potential loss is incurred. If you
rent a house or apartment and do not already have renter's
insurance, you should consider purchasing a renters insurance
policy. Also, keep in mind that homeowner and renter's insurance do
not cover flood damage; flood insurance must be purchased separately
and most flood insurance policies require a 30-day waiting period
before the coverage is effective.
8. The safety and protection of Coast Guard members, civilians and
their families are of paramount concern and you are strongly
encouraged to prepare early for a safe hurricane season.
