Natural Disasters and Insurance Gaps

Are You Truly Protected?

The past few months have been a powerful reminder of how quickly natural disasters can disrupt lives, businesses, and communities across the country. Wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and severe storms have highlighted the importance of being properly prepared — not just with emergency plans, but with insurance programs that truly protect what matters most.

Many homeowners and personal property insurance policies contain limitations, exclusions, or outdated coverage amounts that may leave families vulnerable when disaster strikes.

  • When was the last time you reviewed your personal insurance coverage?

  • Would your current policy cover the true cost of rebuilding your home today?

  • Are natural disaster-related risks like wildfire, flood, or earthquake fully covered — or excluded?

  • Do you have protection for temporary living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable?

Understanding your coverage — and identifying any gaps — is essential to protecting your financial security and peace of mind.

To help you evaluate your risks and prepare for the unexpected, we invite you to explore our Natural Hazards Resource Page. You’ll find curated information about common hazards, mitigation tips, and important questions to ask when reviewing your policies.

For additional safety tips, Foremost Insurance’s Wildfire Safety Guide offers practical advice on protecting your home and preparing your family for wildfire risks — lessons that can apply broadly to many types of natural disasters.

As our own Jeremy Barnes recently shared, times like these should serve as a wake-up call to reach out to your insurance agent — before a loss occurs. Unfortunately, we often review policies after a disaster only to find critical gaps in coverage, underinsurance issues, or important exclusions. A proactive insurance review can make all the difference when it matters most.

If you’re unsure whether your current insurance program provides the protection you need, InsurEdge Group is here to help. Our team can review your business or personal coverage, identify potential vulnerabilities, and recommend solutions tailored to your needs.
