Recently thousands have
been dramatically affected by the overwhelming destruction Hurricane Sandy
brought to the East Coast. This natural disaster has wiped out entire
communities and landmarks, leaving a trail of flooding, gas leaks, power
outages and tears in its wake.
People across the nation
are sending relief to the victims of the East Coast, and many may have wondered
how some families are going to recover from this traumatic occurrence.
Thousands of insurance claims for homes and businesses are likely to flood insurance agencies
in the coming weeks, so the Equifax Finance Blog decided now was a good time to
give some tips with dealing with damage from natural disasters for future
reference.
In their article, “Hurricane Sandy Insurance Claims Tips,” Equifax states that some results
from natural disasters are not always covered by homeowner’s insurance. Take
flooding for instance, memories can be lost, like your wedding photo album or
grandparent’s portraits, flood waters can creep into every part of your home
like your walls, furniture, lighting, electronics and more. Some of these
treasures may be irreplaceable, but it could be even worse if you haven’t
invested into alternate insurance to cover something like a flood.
