Cyclone Preperation Checklist
As cyclone season approaches, Northern Insurance Solutions is here to support our clients and the community in preparing for potential severe weather events.
Cyclones can cause significant damage to property, and as your insurance broker, our priority is your safety. We encourage everyone to take necessary precautions to keep themselves and their families safe before and during a cyclone.
Preparing for a Cyclone
Before a cyclone hits, it’s essential to have a safety plan in place. This includes knowing local evacuation routes and having an emergency kit stocked with essential items like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and first aid supplies.
Make sure to secure your property by trimming trees and removing any loose items that could become hazards in high winds.
Ensure that your insurance policies are current, and have the right cover for your property and assets. Our team can help you…
After the Cyclone
Once the cyclone has passed, do not venture outside until authorities confirm it is safe. Be aware of hazards such as downed power lines, and avoid using electrical equipment until it’s been checked for damage.
If your property sustains damage, follow these important steps:
- Take Photos and Record Details – Before cleaning up, photograph and document any damage to your property and belongings, making sure to record serial numbers of damaged electronic devices.
- Make Safe – Carry out any urgent repairs necessary to secure your property and prevent further damage. Keep receipts for emergency repairs, as these might be reimbursable through your insurance.
Our claims team is ready to assist with enquiries and help you lodge a claim. We’re committed to providing swift and expert support so you can get the help you need as quickly as possible.
