Flooding can be caused by heavy rains, melting snow, inadequate drainage systems, failed flood control structures such as levees and dams, as well as tropical storms and hurricanes. It is important to understand the flood risks you face before deciding whether to purchase flood insurance……” Floodsmart.gov

Kentucky Insurance Tips , Response to Storms http://dickwattsinsurance.com/blog/2008/09/22/kentucky-insurance-tips-response-to-storms/ http://dickwattsinsurance.com/blog/2008/09/22/kentucky-insurance-tips-response-to-storms/#comments Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:07:13 +0000 Watts Team Kentucky Insurance kentucky insurance http://dickwattsinsurance.com/blog/2008/09/22/kentucky-insurance-tips-response-to-storms/ Here are some good tips on how to respond after the storm, once your claim has been reported:

“Most policies cover tree removal if the tree falls on a covered structure. If your neighbor’s tree falls on your property and damages a covered structure or vehicle, your insurance policy covers your loss.
- Read your policy carefully. Many policies do not offer coverage for food spoilage if the electrical outage took place off premises.
- When the adjuster arrives, ask for identification. Get the adjuster’s name, a local phone number and the company he/she represents. Ask questions and take detailed notes.
- Broken glass or other damage to your car is covered if you have comprehensive coverage. You are not covered if you only have liability insurance.
- When having repairs completed, deal only with reputable, licensed and insured local contractors you know or can check out. Don’t deal with “fly-by-night” remodelers who go door-to-door, especially those offering greatly reduced prices.
- Contact DOI at (800) 595-6053 and ask for a copy of “After the Storm Has Passed.” This publication includes valuable information, a complaint form and information on how to prepare for the next disaster. The publication is available online at http://doi.ppr.ky.gov/kentucky/Documents/pubs/AfterTheStorm060408.pdf ……”  Insurance Journal

Here is a great article about what to expect from your insurance company after the storm :

The Kentucky Department of Insurance continues to assess insurance company response to the devastating Sunday windstorms. The storms caused widespread damage, according to reports that insurers submitted to DOI, but company representatives were on the ground quickly to begin the claims process. “There was a delay in the beginning because many areas were blocked by downed power lines and trees. Company representatives are not first responders so they are careful to stay out of the way until that important work has been completed,” said DOI Commissioner Sharon P. Clark. “However, we are hearing from many companies, some daily, and are pleased so far with the responsiveness.” …. State Assessing Insurance Company Response to Kentucky Storms

After the Storms Free Brochure from the Insurance Dept outlines what to expect after the storm and what steps that you can take

As of today our office remains without power, however we were able reopen on Tuesday. If you have a Storm Claim to report,

From wildfires and earthquakes in California, to hurricanes and tropical storms along the Gulf Coast, to flooding in the Midwest, recent events remind us more than ever that we must prepare ourselves and our families for a disaster.  This is the time, each year, when every American should ask the question, ‘Am I ready?’”

The Ready Campaign and Citizen Corps (www.citizencorps.gov) are encouraging individuals across the nation to take important preparedness steps that will greatly improve their ability to survive and recover from all types of emergencies, whether natural or man-made.  These steps include getting an emergency supply kit, making a family emergency plan, becoming informed about the different emergencies that may affect them, and getting involved in community preparedness and response efforts. ….”
