An Introduction to Hurricane Insurance Preparation in 2026

As the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season approaches, it's crucial to ensure your insurance coverage is adequate to protect your property and assets. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts a below-normal hurricane season, with an expected 55% chance of below-normal activity, 35% chance of near-normal activity, and 10% chance of above-normal activity.

Understanding Your Risks

Even in below-normal seasons, hurricanes can cause significant damage. Assessing your property's vulnerability to wind, flooding, and storm surges is the first step in preparing your insurance.

Reviewing Your Insurance Policies

Examine your current insurance policies to ensure they cover hurricane-related damages. Standard homeowners insurance may not cover flood damage, so consider adding a separate flood insurance policy if necessary.
