What To Do After Hurricane Ian:
- Remain in a secure location until you are notified it is safe to leave.
- Do not drive unless necessary
- Do not drink tap water until authorities say it’s safe.
- Stay away from waterways until potential flooding has passed.
- Report downed power lines and broken gas and sewer mains to officials.
Call the Lake County Citizens Information Line needing information 352-253-9999. The Information line will be open 24/7 to assist callers. For Storm Updates, preparedness information and to sign up for Alert Lake, visit the Emergency Management webpage (lakecountyfl.gov/storm)
Hurricane Ian could cost Florida up to $40 billion.
Insurance claims:
- Inspect your home for damage
- Report damage to your insurance agent. Make sure that you have your claim number.
To report damage: Only call to report a claim if you feel you have damage. Most likely, you will have a hurricane deductible that will need to be met before any claim is paid.
Insurance carriers will also need to prioritize all claims in order of severity. It is best to call a vendor that specializes in the damage that you feel you have to help minimize the damage. For instance, for a roof that is leaking, call a roofing company to come out to place a tarp on the roof to minimize damage, or if water is entering your home, contact a water extraction company. Retain all receipts and take pictures of any damage if possible.
