From Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, to winter weather that will likely hit Wisconsin later this year - it's never too early to prepare for catastrophic storms. Whether you are a business owner or have personal property, here are steps you can take to better prepare for storms, and ways to expedite the process in the event of a claim:

• Review your evacuation plans and follow evacuation orders from local officials.
• Follow the storm closely and stay up-to-date with changes in weather patterns, projections of the storm hitting your location, and emergency instructions.
• Build or restock emergency preparedness kits (including food, water, medication, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, etc.)
• Stock all of your vehicles with emergency supplies and full tanks of fuel.
• Stay in touch with family and friends throughout the duration of the storm.
• Keep cell phones charged and refrigerators/freezers closed in the event you are out of power.
• Have your emergency claim phone numbers and insurance policy numbers on-hand and easily accessible in the event you need to report a claim.
