June 1 marks the beginning of hurricane season, while the peak of tornado season is March through May. Wildfire season is traditionally during the summer months, but in some states the risk is yearlong. Preparation is key to providing a timely response in order to help policyholders begin the recovery process. In this Special Report we share information on how best to prepare for natural disasters and how to recover if one damages your property.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration warned “unprecedented” flooding is likely to occur this spring, with “more than 200 million people at risk.” (Photo: AP Photo/Steve Helber)The majority of the country will likely experience above-average precipitation this spring, substantially elevating the flood risk for this spring season, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced in their U.S. Spring Outlook.
Affecting half of the country, the NOAA predicts approximately 25 states have a potential for major or moderate flooding, touching the lives of nearly 200,000 Americans. This forecast comes after portions of the country — particularly in the upper Mississippi and Missouri River basins including Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa —have already experienced severe flooding already in 2019.
