With the potential for destructive winds and heavy flooding, following the proper steps can minimize the impact of Hurricane Milton and keep you safe during the storm.

Before the Storm


In the days leading up to Hurricane Milton, take the time to secure your property and gather essential supplies. For Orlando and Tampa residents, make sure to board up windows, secure outdoor furniture, and trim overhanging branches to prevent debris damage. Stock up on necessities such as water, non-perishable food, medications, and batteries. It’s also vital to review your insurance policies, ensure you have adequate coverage, and know how to contact us for assistance with claims if needed. Proper preparation can reduce risks to your home and family during the storm.


During the Storm


When Hurricane Milton reaches Orlando and Tampa, stay indoors and avoid traveling unless it is an emergency. Stay away from windows and doors, and have a safe, interior room in your home where you can shelter. Power outages are likely, so keep a battery-powered device handy to stay updated on weather reports and emergency information. Remember not to assume the storm has passed until local authorities confirm it's safe to venture outside.


After the Storm


Once Hurricane Milton has passed, it’s crucial to assess any damage to your property. Residents in Orlando and Tampa should carefully inspect for damage such as roof leaks, broken windows, or flooding. Document all damage thoroughly for your insurance claims and reach out to Insurance First for guidance on filing claims and receiving the support you need to recover. Avoid downed power lines and flooded areas, as they can be extremely dangerous.

At Insurance First, we are here to help you navigate the claims process and restore your home or business after the storm.
