Are You Prepared?

The best time to prepare is before a hurricane. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. #hurricanepreparedness
