ARE YOU READY FOR THE 2013 WINTER
RAINY SEASON?


Were you aware that nearly 20% of Flood Insurance Claims come from Moderate to Low-Risk Areas?

The winter rainy months bring all kinds of wet and snowy weather, and they also bring conditions such as heavy rains, ice jams and rapid  snow melt, followed by the spring thaw that can increase your flood risk.  Flood insurance will help you financially protect your property from these weather events
.

Flooding can happen anywhere, but certain areas are especially prone to serious flooding. Learn more about your own flood risk in this helpful article:

And, after getting flood insurance, please be aware that there are
several things you can  do
in order to minimize the losses
in your home and ensure your family's safety.

GUNS, HOMEOWNERS, AND INSURANCE

  

Although gun control remains a controversial issue, when it comes to insuring firearms, Homeowners coverage offers some clear guidelines.

If you have rifles and pistols in your home, your policy will usually insure them against fire damage or theft,  typically up to $2,500. 

   

 

Please read on to make sure that you are fully informed about insuring firearms under your Homeowners policy. To answer any further questions about firearms coverage in your home, be sure to call or email Mimi Tracy, or any of our Personal Lines trusted advisors today!

                          
603-476-5511

 


AUDIT? WHAT AUDIT?

   

Whenever you're asked to bid on a job, you're usually required to certify that the price is firm and that there won't be any unexpected expenses and cost overruns once the project is underway. Because this is standard practice in the industry, it's understandable that some contractors are surprised that their insurance costs don't operate the same way -- especially when the contractor has asked agents for "bids" on the insurance package.  

 

Read on to learn more about how your insurance works or how premiums are calculated. To answer any further questions, call or email Madelyn Dunlap, or any of our Commercial Account Managers today. They're here to help!
