You don’t have to live on the coast or next to a river to be at risk from flooding. Nearly one-third of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims come from properties in low-to-moderate risk areas.

Flood insurance can help protect your home, belongings, and your financial future when the unexpected happens. If you’ve never reviewed your flood coverage, or assumed you didn’t need it, now is a great time to have that conversation.

Regardless of age, gender, or health condition, everyone is at risk for heat-related illness when working on a job-site under the summer sun. So as July marches onward and the temperature rises, we remind you to stay aware, and stay safe.
