You should be concerned about them, whether you live on the coast or inland. For Coastal Residents: If you live near the Gulf of Mexico or along the Eastern Seaboard, you probably know the hurricane season starts in June and can continue through November. As the hurricane season approaches, you should prepare for it.Locate tb.e low- lying sections of your community so, you can avoid them. Find the safest route to high ground. After you have made all the necessary preparations to protect your family and your property, are fully ready to deal with a hurricane? Are yousure? Do you have flood insural1.ce? Many people do not know their homeowner' s insurance policy does hot cover losses from flooding. Most costal dalnage caused by hurricanes is the. result of flooding from giant waves driven by the hurricane wind. A hurricane could wipe out your property improvements. If the insurance adjuster determines flooding caused the devastation not the hurricane winds you could be out of luck unless you have flood insurance. For Inland Residents: People who live ' well inland from the coast often feel they will not be affected by an approaching hurricane since they will not experience the crushing hurricane wind and waves. True, as a hurricane moves inland, wind forces weaken rapidly. But inland flooding caused by hurricanes can be extensive. The tons of water the storm picked up over the ocean will be released as the storm moves inland. Rainfall :from a hurricane sometimes can be measured in tens of inches. Inland residents also need to prepare for hurricanes by purchasing flood insurance. Remember, the damage to your home and its contents is not covered by you'r homeowner' s insurance policy. Even if the flooding in your home measures only one or two inches, it can mean ruined carpets, some furniture destruction, perhaps even the loss of a major. appliance. And if the water did structural damage, the costs of repair and restoration could mean the end of vacation plans, a child' s .education plan, even a major setback to your long rang budget plans. Without flood insurance, a major flood loss could add up to financial ruin. Before The Flood: Purchase flood insurance if the community you live in has joined the National Flood Insurance Program with a pledge of flood plain management measures; you will be eligible to apply for it. Only a five 237-  day wait is required for your flood insurance policy to become effective. Fanners can buy policies to protect their personal property against possible flood damage, too. A Federal program, the National Flood Insurance Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, makes this possible. A simple call to your insurance agent or broker starts the process to cover your home possessions, and business. Your agent or broker will help you decide how much coverage you need. List all yourpersonal property. Make an itemized list of your furnishings, clothing and valuables. This list is for your protection and will help prove your claims are valid. It's a good idea to take pictures of these items, as well as your home- both inside and out. These photos will help adjusters to settle your claim. They can also help prove uninsured possessions, which are tax deductible. Keep your policy and list of personal property in a safe place, such as a safety deposit box. Be sure to remember, or carry in your wallet, the name and address of the agent or broker who wrote your policy. Learn the safest route from your home place of business to high, or safe ground should a flood occur. Practice taking these routes. If there is a flood, you may only have minutes to get to safety. If The Flood Comes Keep your battery- operated -radio tuned to a local station and follow all instructions. Keep calm, but if you are told to evacuate, move out of the house or building to safe, high ground. Turn off all utilities at the main switch if evacuation is necessary- BUT ONLY IF TIME PERMITS. Do not touch any electrtcal equipment unless it is ina dxy area or you are standing on a dry piece of wood with rubber footwear and gloves on. Open basement windows to equalize water pressure on the foundations and walls... BUT ONLY IF TIME PERMITS. Move all the valuables you can get to a higher floor if there is one- BUT ONLY IF TIME PERMITS. Be aware that floods are deceptive. Avoid already flooded areas. Do not attempt to. cross any stretch of flood waters if the water is above your knees. Know that in floods cars can become coffins. DO NOT DRIVE WHERE WATER IS OVER THE ROADS. Under those flood waters the road could be washed away and rapid rising water could lift the car and already carry it away-with you in it. Getting your feet wet on the way to high ground is preferable to never getting there. 238-  01 Be extra careful if you are to evacuate in your car at nigh in the dark, find yourself you may. not see the flood danger. If by .mistake, you in water and the car stalls, get out of the car and climb to high driving ground iJmmediately. If your caught. in. the .house by the sudden rising flood waters, rnove to: the second floor and/ or, if necessary, to the roof. Take vvarm. clothing: and a flashlight with you, as well as your operated radio. Don' t try to swim to battery-'- safety. Wait for help. Rescue teams will be looking for you. . After The Flood Call the insurance agent or broker who sold you your flood insurance policy irnmediately, if your home, apartment or business has been damaged by the flood. The agent will submit a loss form and an adjuster will be to inspect the property. The adjuster will call assigned
