Hurricane Home Documentation — Florida
Florida faces Atlantic and Gulf of America hurricane risk every season from June 1 through November 30. Panhandle surge, peninsula wind, and dual wind-vs-flood claims all need a room-by-room pre-loss record so adjusters can settle contents without guessing what you owned.
Preparation checklist for Florida
- ✓ Photograph roof, windows, shutters, and garage doors before June 1.
- ✓ Document contents in every room including closets, lanais, and garages.
- ✓ Store receipts for high-value items and appliances.
- ✓ Separate evidence for wind vs flood when sharing with your agent.
- ✓ Download a full vault backup off-site annually — see Vault Backup.
- ✓ Tag portable items for evacuation prep before orders.
- ✓ Ask about on-site capture along the Gulf Coast — travel bookings considered via Concierge.
