Storm Preparation in Delaware and Maryland

Preparing for a Major Coastal Storm

You can take some immediate, precautionary measures, such as those listed below, to prepare for a flood or major coastal storm.

Make an itemized list of personal property, such as Furnishings, Clothing and Valuables.
Take photos of your house inside and out to assist in settling insurance claims and to prove uninsured losses for tax deductions.
Keep your insurance policies in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box.
Know the safest route from your home or business to the nearest shelter, nearest friend or relative living in a fairly safe area, or other high, safe ground.
Because electricity will likely be knocked out, keep a portable radio, emergency cooking equipment, working flashlights and extra batteries.
If your area floods frequently, always have a good stock of sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting and lumber to protect your property.
