Inspecting Home for Hurricane Hazards in Pelican Bay?

11/12/2024 (Permalink)

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7 in Collier County.

Our local North Naples team is a trusted leader in storm damage mitigation and restoration services in Pelican Bay. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute for dangers to be aware of after the hurricane has passed:

• Beware of outdoor hazards like loose or fallen tree limbs, loose signage, or awnings that are in danger of breaking off and falling.
• Keep away from loose or dangling power lines and report them immediately to the proper authority.
• Walk or drive extra cautiously as washouts may weaken road and bridge structures.
• In the event of a power outage, throw out food that may be spoiled.
• Boil municipal water before drinking until you have been told it is safe.

Take action if your home is damaged.

Notify your insurance professional as soon as possible after the storm of any losses. If you have to relocate, let your representative know how to contact you. In addition:

• Make temporary repairs as soon as possible if these can be done safely. This strategy will protect your property from further damage or looting; however, keep all receipts for materials used for insurance purposes.
• Hang on to your receipts for expenses that will be covered by insurance or will be tax-deductible.
