Are you prepared for the unexpected? The facts might surprise you.
| FACT: Tornadoes strike quickly with little or no warning. | KOVELS Tip: Prepare yourself—plan an evacuation route now, create an emergency kit, and keep a household inventory in a safe-deposit box. | | FACT: Most basic homeowners or renters insurance policies give minimal or no protection for loss of antiques and collectibles. | KOVELS Tip: You need special coverage for objects worth more than $5,000—and you need documentation to prove their value. | | FACT: Theft is a widespread problem for disaster-striken neighborhoods. | KOVELS Tip: As soon as it's safe, secure your property. If there's a hole in the roof, move the collectibles in the attic to a different floor. If your doors are gone, move everything to rented storage. | Kovels' Dealing with Disaster—THE guide to disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, fire, floods and theft AND to putting everything back in its place.
