Recommended Supplies
Drinking water (1 gallon per person per day)
Non-perishable food
Prescription medications
First aid kit
Flashlights and extra batteries
Hand-crank or battery-powered weather radio
Portable phone chargers and power banks
Personal hygiene supplies
Cash in small denominations
Pet food, medications, and supplies
Infant formula and baby supplies (if needed)

Protect Important Documents and Valuables
Many of the items homeowners need most after a disaster are difficult—or impossible—to replace.
Protect Critical Records
Store original documents in waterproof containers
Keep copies of: Insurance policies, Wind mitigation reports, Elevation certificates, Home inspection reports, Property surveys, Warranties and receipts
Back up documents digitally
Document Your Possessions
Take photos and videos of every room
Photograph major appliances and equipment
Record serial numbers where possible
Create an inventory of valuable belongings
These records can dramatically simplify insurance claims after a storm.

Prepare Your Home
Hurricanes often cause damage long before floodwaters arrive. Wind, flying debris, roof failures, and water intrusion account for many costly insurance claims.
Exterior Preparation Checklist
Trim trees and remove dead branches
Clean gutters and downspouts
Inspect roofing for loose or damaged materials
Secure outdoor furniture, grills, and decorations
Reinforce garage doors
Verify window protection systems are ready
Move vehicles to protected locations
Test generators and fuel supplies
Know Your Home's Vulnerabilities
Many homeowners don't know:
Whether their roof qualifies for insurance discounts
If their garage door meets wind standards
Whether they have adequate roof-to-wall connections
Which upgrades would most improve resilience

Understand Your Flood Risk
Flooding is one of the most common and expensive hurricane-related losses. Importantly, many flood claims occur outside designated high-risk flood zones.
Before Hurricane Season
Trim trees and remove dead branches
Inspect roofing for loose or damaged materials
Reinforce garage doors
Move vehicles to protected locations
How SaferHome.AI Helps
We provide insights on flood exposure risks, elevation data, property-specific vulnerabilities, available mitigation opportunities, and documentation needed for insurance and disaster recovery.

05
Create an Evacuation Plan
When evacuation orders are issued, time is limited.
Plan Ahead
Know whether your property is in an evacuation zone
Determine where you will stay
Plan for pets and special medical needs
Prepare a "go bag" for each family member
Identify multiple evacuation routes
Keep vehicles fueled during storm threats
Don't Wait
If local officials issue an evacuation order, leave immediately. Roads become congested quickly and conditions can deteriorate faster than expected.

06
Review Your Insurance Coverage
Many homeowners discover coverage gaps only after a loss occurs.
Questions to Ask
Does my policy cover wind damage?
Are my rebuilding limit current?
What is my hurricane deductible?
Have all available discounts been applied?
Do I have flood insurance?
Is my personal property coverage sufficient?
How SaferHome.AI Helps
Identify potential insurance savings, missing wind mitigation credits, gather documentation insurers commonly request, and highlight property features that may qualify for discounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does hurricane season start and end?
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30. Peak activity typically occurs between August and October.
How far inland can hurricanes cause damage?
Hurricanes can cause significant damage hundreds of miles inland, primarily through wind damage and flooding from heavy rainfall. You don't need to live on the coast to be affected.
What is the most important thing to prepare?
Having an emergency kit with at least 10 days of supplies and a clear evacuation plan are the two most critical preparations. SaferHome.AI also recommends a current property assessment to understand your specific vulnerabilities.
What is a wind mitigation report and why does it matter?
A wind mitigation report documents features of your home that make it more resistant to hurricane winds. This report can qualify you for significant insurance discounts often hundreds of dollars per year.
How does SaferHome.AI help after a hurricane?
SaferHome.AI's DataVault ensures your insurance policies, property records, photos, and documents are accessible from any device — critical when you may not have access to your home or office. Our platform also helps document damage and supports insurance claims.
Is flood insurance covered by my homeowner's policy?
Standard homeowner's insurance typically does NOT cover flood damage. Flood insurance is usually purchased separately through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private insurers.
