A disaster won’t wait! Severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances can result in a loss of property when you least expect it. September is National Preparedness Month and in addition to creating an emergency plan for your family and building an emergency kit, now is a good time to review your home inventory checklist!
What’s a home inventory checklist and why do I need one?
A home inventory checklist is a thorough list and proof of ownership of many of the items in your home. In the event of a homeowners claim, this list can make the claims process faster and more efficient. If you already have a home inventory checklist, it’s a good idea to update the document from time to time to ensure that it is as up to date as possible.
If you don’t already have a checklist, use this guide from Arbella Mutual for tips and a template to create your own home inventory checklist.
Make sure to store your checklist somewhere safe and not in your home, so you have access to it in the event of an emergency. If you have questions or need further advice on compiling your checklist, contact our office today.
