CYCLONE SUPPORT
At Benton Insurance Services, we are committed to ensuring your safety and peace of mind as we navigate the challenges posed by cyclones. Our Cyclone Preparedness and Client Support Plan is designed to provide you with the guidance and support you need during these times.
Review Your Insurance Policies
We encourage you to take a moment to review your insurance coverage with us. It’s important to ensure that your policy adequately covers cyclone-related damages, including storm surge, wind damage, and flooding. Our team is here to assist you with any questions or adjustments you may need.
Communicate About Risk Preparedness
We recommend reviewing your evacuation plans and emergency supplies. Our team is available to offer advice on creating or updating your emergency preparedness plans, ensuring you have clear evacuation routes, communication strategies, and emergency contacts in place.
For your safety, we suggest taking proactive measures to protect your home and business. This includes reinforcing structures, securing windows, and preventing water damage. If you own a business, consider securing inventory and critical equipment that may be vulnerable to the storm.
Understanding the Claims Process
We are here to guide you through the claims process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the necessary documentation, timelines, and steps involved. We encourage you to gather any relevant records or receipts in advance to facilitate a smoother process.
In the event of a cyclone, documenting any potential damage before, during, and after the storm will be crucial. This will help us expedite your claims processing. We aim to set realistic expectations by explaining how the claims process may unfold during large-scale events, especially when demand for adjusters and inspectors is high.
