Step Three - Protect your property

Here are some tips you should consider for protecting your property from a hurricane. Remember, a few minutes now can save you hours afterwards.

• If you're an Allstate policyholder, register with the Customer Care Center at allstate.com. This will give you 24/7 access to your insurance policies, let you report claims and track them.
• Ensure you have hurricane shutters or 3/4-inch outdoor plywood boards for each window of your home.
• Install anchors and pre-drill holes for the plywood, so you can put it up quickly in the event of a storm.
• Install head and foot bolts on doors for extra protection.
• Install hurricane straps or clips to help hold your roof to the walls of your home.
• Make sure your landscaping does not become a wind hazard by removing any diseased and damaged limbs from trees.
• Consider building a safe room in your home to withstand high winds and flying debris. More information is available at FEMA.gov.
