The Value of Being Prepared
While many of you are currently experiencing the devastation of this most recent natural disaster, we would like to wish all of you the very best in addressing these difficult events.
With disasters, it is important to remember that preparation reduces the stress and financial burdens caused by these situations. It is also hard to fathom that while being prepared offers so many benefits, so few places and properties are properly prepared. Aside from a peace of mind, the following items should be considered as valuable benefits for having a plan or strategy in place prior to an event:
1. Personal safety
2. Protection of valuable assets (both property and contents)
3. Quick return to operational status after an event
4. Increased value of property
5. Increased confidence of tenants and residents (easier rental)
6. Reduction of risk exposure to potential insurers
7. Potential reduction in deductibles
8. Increased potential in being an insurable property under new flood policies
9. More control over costs and potential exposure to 3rd party liabilities
10. Comfort of tenants and residents that would have no power or heat
