When should Alabama Gulf Coast homeowners document their home?

Before June 1, when hurricane season begins. Mobile Bay and coastal counties face wind and storm surge — a pre-season record covering structure and contents is your strongest protection.

Will my adjuster accept digital documentation?

Carriers routinely work from structured PDFs, spreadsheets, and photos. See our [Claims Guide](/claims-guide) for export formats by plan and the [FAQ](/faq) for verification details.

Alabama hurricane season: June 1 – November 30. Document your home before the season starts.

Hurricane Home Documentation — Alabama

Alabama's Gulf Coast — Mobile Bay, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Dauphin Island — sits in the path of Gulf of America hurricanes every season from June 1 through November 30. Storm surge can push seawater miles inland. A room-by-room pre-loss record helps adjusters settle contents claims when wind and water erase what was there.
