Insurance Thoughts - Evacuation

We residents of Leisure Village are devastated by the shootings, fire and wind. So much emotion! I was visiting my family in the San Francisco Bay area when this all occurred and I felt so vulnerable realizing that I wasn't home to pack up my personal belongings if Leisure Village occupants had to evacuate.  

Conversations with friends here in our village include questions about insurance policies and what to take when and if evacuation becomes necessary. Certainly, you will want to make sure you have your medications, eyeglasses, valuables including jewelry, cash, photos, some clothes and personal comfort items (favorite blanket, mug, pillow),  Important papers include driver's license, social security card, proof of health, homeowner, auto insurance, passport, trust/will, health care directive, power of attorney, copy of mortgage statement, 3 years tax returns if possible. The Grant Deed for your home is available from a title company and County records if required in the future. Of course you will want to make sure too that you have a full tank of gas for your car and contact information for your insurance agent, lawyer, accountant, physicians, etc.  

Now that we have all experienced a potential evacuation, you may want to review your HO 6 insurance policy with your agent to verify that your policy is up to date with appropriate coverage. If you have questions regarding what our Leisure Village Master Insurance Policy covers, you or your agent can call Tolman & Wiker, our master policy broker at 805-585-6100 and ask for Denise Sutton.
