Home Inventory Checklist
Being a Florida homeowner means we're all used to storm season every year. Although we may not be
affected directly, it's better to take extra precaution in case of disaster. The Home Inventory Checklist is a worksheet to help your policyholders prepare for storms and emergencies. This checklist is used for policyholders to record all of their valuables and the prices, dates purchased and pictures. That way, if they are affected, they can take the guesswork out of their claim and know exactly what is covered.
Family Emergency Plan
Family safety is important for not only your policyholders, but yourselves as well. When disaster strikes, 
parents feel safe knowing their family is prepared with a plan on what to do. The Family Emergency Plan is designed to help families come up with an emergency plan in case of severe weather, fire, or other home emergencies. Having the kids involved helps everyone feel safe and protected. The Emergency Plan includes a disaster supply kit checklist, evacuation plan, critical information, and more. A family with a plan is a family that is taking safety very seriously, so share this with your policyholders before it's too late.
