June 18, 2012 By

Flood insurance is a must for Texas homeowners and especially for those of us who live along the Houston Gulf Coast. So you’re a responsible homeowner, you’ve got flood insurance. What else can you do to prepare for hurricane season?

Beyond flood insurance, there are several things that homeowners can do to minimize losses occurred from a hurricane or flooding and at the very least make the process of picking up the pieces smoother. Taking a household inventory is one of the first steps you should take after purchasing flood insurance.
