Hurricane Season: June – November

May 30, 2017 by Taylor Agency Staff

As a coastal state, South Carolina is now entering hurricane season. Here is how you should prepare for it.

 


Get the Right Insurance Coverage
Talk with your agent about Wind & Hail Insurance, Flood Insurance, and Named Storm Coverage. Once a storm maintains 38mph winds, it earns itself a name. More importantly, the damage from a named storm can affect your deductible, so start asking insurance coverage questions right now.


Get Weather Notifications
AccuWeather.com can send you alerts when bad weather is headed your way. These kinds of alerts give you the chance to weather proof your home before serious damage can take a hold.
