June 1st marks the official start of hurricane season for residents along the Atlantic coast. Historically, late summer is when you can expect the worst storms to hit so you might have some time before your home is threatened by the wind and water damage that often accompany hurricanes.
But don't fall for that false sense of security. There's still a risk of hurricane activity from now through at least the end of November. And this relatively quiet period is the prime opportunity to shore up any missing coverage in your home insurance and refresh your memory on how to make sure any claims you need to file get approved.
