It definitely has been a HOT summer!  As we approach the traditionally more active period of the hurricane season, now is a good time to check around your home for tree limbs and debris that could cause personal or property damage in a storm.  Speaking of damage control, do you have adequate flood and windstorm insurance coverage on your home?  This issue contains important information to help you assess your current coverage and resources to obtain additional insurance, if needed; this is especially critical if you own or rent property near the coast or in a flood-prone area.
