Hurricane hit fast, your recovery should be just as quick
Posted on May 4th, 2011
Summertime is right around the corner, and in South Florida this means hurricane season is almost here. Now is the time to get the provisions you need and to make sure that you have the insurance coverage necessary to protect yourself in case your home gets a strike from storm or wind forces. It’s also a good idea to have a plan in place to get the extra property protection needed – hurricane shutters, and a systematic method to secure items from become flying debris. Stay informed and keep your ears peeled to the weather reports, this way you can follow tropical storms and hurricanes.
It’s very common for the storm trackers to release information about a tropical storm far out at sea and that storm never turns into a hurricane or if so, doesn’t head to South Florida. However, there are times when a tropical storm quickly develops into a hurricane and that hurricane moves its way to Miami Dade and Broward County. Areas such as Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, Sunny Isles, Hollywood, Surfside, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and the surrounding areas are at great risk to absorbing the impact of a hurricane. This is precisely why, storm coverage is vital and a property owner should have a phone number to a Public Adjuster servicing Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, Sunny Isles, Hollywood, Surfside, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Boca Raton and the surrounding zip codes.
The first type of damage to sustain is the forceful winds and water damage; however, even if your home wins that battle other damage can occur. It’s common that during a major storm there is no water, electricity, and other types of necessities, this creates more possible damages. Mold can quickly develop because of the moisture, plumbing problems can occur because of debris in the pipes, and even flooding can happen because drainage backs up. Unfortunately, this is not an easy discussion and there are many “what if” scenarios – South Florida has seen it all.
Hurricanes are not a joke and can make people very nervous, a trained and experienced Public Adjuster can help calm the situation.
Here’s some footage from Hurricane Wilma: You can see how powerful a storm can be and the damage is can cause…
Learn about how a Public Adjuster can guide you through the insurance claim process during the aftermath of a hurricane. You’re much better off having a professional on your side so that no time is wasted to get the recovery started asap.

2010 Hurricane season behind us, let’s relax and organize
Posted on December 5th, 2010
Follow Floridians we made it free and clear of hurricanes this season!
Every year it’s a nerve-racking summer because of the active risks during hurricane season. As the season sunsets, it’s natural for us to move on and continue with daily life. There are very few of us, if any at all, that begin preparing for the next season as the previous one passes. We all know that essential supplies, like batteries, are cheaper off season. It makes sense to stock up on canned goods, water, flashlights, tools, and other necessary items; however, we want a break from the hysteria. That’s what’s good about the season ending in the clear, right? We can take a breather.
Well, let’s look at this as an opportunity. Right now, we have plenty of time until next season to research and discuss the appropriate hurricane coverage and relationship with a local public adjuster. It’s a great idea to schedule an appointment and have your policy reviewed and get to know what steps you need to take for next season. This way you can focus on great sales for supplies, and we’ll focus on making sure you’re in good hands for next season. It’s a no-brainer, we just have to make an appointment.
There were some similarities during the 2010 season as in the 2005 season. They predicted 50 named storms and all the experts were anticipating at least one major storm. Thankfully it past and all was peaceful.

Posted on July 20th, 2010
There’s excitement around Miami’s new basketball lineup for the Heat being ranked number. This isn’t the number one ranking weather.com placed on South Florida. Weather.com ranks Miami as the number in the Top Five Hurricane Vulnerable and Overdue Cities - http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/top5-most-vulnerable-overdue-hurricane-cities_2010-07-14?page=6
“Despite a long history of major hurricanes striking southern portions of Florida, metropolitan Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, and the nearby city of Miami along with many of its suburbs in Miami-Dade County, have gone for decades without experiencing the direct impacts from a very damaging hurricane. At the same time, the population has soared and building has boomed in an area where essentially every person and structure resides within 20 miles of the coastline.”
This is frightening to read and it’s being reported about all over, here’s where to find it mentioned on the Miami New Times - http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2010/07/miami_ranked_first_for_cities.php
We cannot prevent a Hurricane, but we can prepare and plan for what happens if and when it hits. Give a ring today and I’ll explain how I can help you prepare.
