Hurricane Milton: Secure Your Home’s Future with Documentation
Florida homeowners, be prepared!
With the looming threat of Hurricane Milton, it is crucial to take proactive steps to protect both your family and your property. One of the most important actions you can take is to document the current condition of your home.
Why is it so important to document?
If your home is damaged by the hurricane, the photos and videos you take will serve as solid evidence to file a claim with your insurance company. These visual records detail the condition of your property before and after the event, making the damage assessment process easier and faster.
What to document?
- Exterior of the house: Facade, roof, windows, doors, garage, patio, pool, any damage to fences or external structures.
- Interior of the house: Every room, including ceilings, walls, floors, furniture, appliances, any cracks, leaks or flooding.
- Contents: Document your belongings, especially valuables, jewelry, electronics and important documents. Additional Tips:
- Take high-quality photos and videos: Make sure the images are clear and in focus.
- Cover all angles: Document every corner of your property.
- Store images in a safe place: Once you've taken the photos and videos, save them to an external device or the cloud.
