Hurricane season is already upon us, and its strongest point has yet to arrive. Hurricanes approaching our area undergo an extensive transition. This results in an increase in the storm's energy, which can cause significant damage to homes, vehicles and businesses. Although hurricanes are not common in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, it is important to be prepared in the event that they do occur.
As hurricane season peaks during August and September, we at Soucy Insurance want you to be prepared. We have listed some emergency preparedness tips that will keep you and your family safe in the event of a storm.
- Prepare your home prior to knowing a storm is approaching - Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are more wind resistant.

An umbrella policy takes over where your homeowners and auto insurance coverage stops, protecting you if you are sued or found liable for causing injury to an individual or their property. An umbrella policy ensures that you and your family are protected from expensive claims and lawsuits.
When taking into consideration that a person found at-fault would be held accountable for expenses such as medical bills, possible rehabilitation therapy, lost wages and legal defense, it is often the case that the typical homeowner and auto insurance policy does not provide enough coverage. An umbrella policy, however, can provide as much as ten times the amount of coverage as a traditional homeowner or auto policy, potentially giving you up to one million dollars worth of protection for as little as $150 - $200 a year.
