7. To protect your financial assets in the event of a hurricane, consider the following best 
practices:
a. Review your insurance policy(ies) to ensure you have adequate coverage for your home before a 
potential loss occurs.
b. If you rent a house or apartment and do not already have renter's insurance, you may want to 
explore the option of purchasing a policy.
c. Keep in mind that most standard homeowner and renter's insurance policies do not cover flood 
damage. Flood insurance is available separately, and many policies require a 30-day waiting period 
before coverage takes effect.
8. The safety and protection of Coast Guard members and their families are of paramount concern and 
you are strongly encouraged to prepare early for a safe hurricane season.
