Brightway Insurance agents are available to assist in assessing your current policies and making any necessary adjustments to provide comprehensive protection.

3. Home Preparations: Secure your home by inspecting and reinforcing windows, doors, and roofs. Trim any overhanging branches and clear gutters to prevent potential damage from debris and flooding. Consider investing in storm shutters or impact-resistant windows for added protection.
4. Evacuation Plan: Develop a clear evacuation plan in advance, including designated evacuation routes and emergency shelters. Communicate the plan with all household members and ensure everyone knows what to do in the event of an evacuation order.
5. Stay Informed: Stay abreast of the latest weather updates and advisories by monitoring local news channels, weather apps, and official government sources. Sign up for emergency alerts and notifications to receive timely information and instructions from authorities.
