Hurricane season begins June 1, and now is the perfect time for Alabama businesses to double-check their disaster readiness.

Here are a few steps that can help reduce risk and keep your team, tenants, and property safer when severe weather hits:

• Review your emergency plan
• Secure outdoor equipment and signage
• Confirm your insurance coverage is up to date
• Make sure employees know communication procedures

Even inland areas across Alabama can feel the effects of hurricanes, so early preparation goes a long way.

Owning a vintage, antique, or collector car is more than a hobby—it's an investment that deserves the right protection. A standard auto policy usually isn’t enough for vehicles like these. That’s why classic car insurance is designed to cover the unique value and care that specialty vehicles require.

Our team at Akin & Associates Insurance Group can walk you through agreed value coverage, mileage limits, storage requirements, and optional protections that help safeguard your vehicle long-term.

Have questions or want to explore your options? We’re here to help you protect what matters most to you.

National Small Business Week is a great reminder of how important the right insurance protection is—especially when costs are rising and budgets feel tight.

At Akin & Associates Insurance Group, we see firsthand how being underinsured can put Alabama small businesses at risk. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• A loss can become an out‑of‑pocket expense. If your building, tools, equipment, or inventory are undervalued, you could be responsible for the gap after a fire, storm, or theft.

• Income can pause, but expenses won’t. Without business income coverage, payroll, rent, and utilities may continue even if damage forces you to close temporarily.

• Liability claims can exceed limits. Lawsuits, medical bills, and legal fees can quickly go beyond basic coverage.

Our team is here to help you protect what you’ve built while staying within budget. If you want to review your policy or explore affordable options, give us a call anytime.
