Picture an angry winding air-filled pillar emanating from the
skies during a thunderstorm that reaches the earth's floor. Add a
maximum twisting speed of 300 miles per hour and the power to raze,
demolish, devastate and wipe out any home, condo, apartment or
commercial building, as well as the clout to fling any tree, motorcycle,
car or truck hundreds of yards away. Now you've got somewhat of a
tornado's image.
Tornadoes usually occur in the flat, dry central portion of the US. Known as the Tornado Alley that includes Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana, the area can become victimized during any season.
When it comes to the devastation wrought by tornadoes, there is little difference between a homeowner, renter, landlord, or business owner. All have to deal with the same hazards and likelihood to serious losses and damages.
While everyone understands that stocking up on vital food and first aid essentials is a prerequisite for tornado preparedness, the most important steps to protect property oftentimes gets overlooked.
Don't become a sitting liability bull to the terror of a tornado. Learn the techniques that can save you from fiscal and physical damage as well as the general mental anguish that comes along with the shove of nature's powerful forces.
Don't get hit with surprises about your coverage!
Review your insurance policy at least once a year to make sure you have the protection you need in the event a tornado damages your property. By reading both big and fine print and speaking with your insurance agent, you will become aware of any gaps in coverage. Don't be afraid to ask questions and voice your concerns about your policy. Alert your agent about any new situation, including home or property improvements that may necessitate revised homeowners, renters or business owner coverage.
Although going over your insurance policy is extremely important, there is something else that you should never neglect and that's making an annual inventory of everything in your home.
Your home or business Inventory is invaluable!
Should Mother Nature's disaster strike your property and you incur losses, the list of belongings that you put together will stand you in good stead when you make an insurance claim.
Here's how the experts advise:
• Ask your insurance specialist if they can provide you with industry means to help you make an inventory.
• Start by compiling a list for each room and every closet.
• Include your basement, attic, garage and other places where you store things.
No doubt, tornadoes present a terrifying reality. Equipped with the proper knowledge and coverage, you'll have the peace of mind that comes with doing everything in your power to help protect yourself.
