Storm Preparedness

Branford, CT. – July 25, 2017.  It’s most likely safe to say, nobody wants to experience a hurricane; and we certainly hope we don’t in 2017.  However, from experience we all know it’s a possibility once we enter the season. So, the key here is to be proactive and not reactive.  Surprisingly though, many people to tend not to heed caution.  Lack of preparedness as we’ve all seen in the news, can leave us with worse circumstances.  

At V.F. McNeil Insurance, we are trying to help spread the word about the importance of being preparedness-minded.  The following are some tips from our friends at Hanover Insurance on weathering a hurricane, before, during and after the storm.  Please take time to review each for your knowledge and safety.
