Wildfires and other emergencies can strike fast. Make sure your family knows what to do if you need to evacuate: how to leave safely, where to meet up, and how to stay in touch. Pick a safe, familiar spot & practice together so everyone feels ready. #PreparednessStartsAtHome

Family conversations about emergencies can make a big difference. They turn “what ifs” into real plans. Talk at your table tonight: • Where would we meet if we couldn’t get home? • Do we have supplies for a few days? • How would we communicate? #PreparednessStartsAtHome

This week during #NationalPreparednessMonth, we're focusing on flood risk in Montana and the steps you can take to be prepared and ready to recover if you experience flooding. Flood insurance, especially if you are in a flood plain, is a critical part of protecting your home.

New wildfire starts mean smoke and poor air quality could be on the way. Wildfire smoke is dangerous for kids, older adults, and those with health issues. A HEPA air filter can help. Think about getting one now before demand goes up. https://t.co/p0rSr8KM83

Wildfire smoke can impact our local air quality even when fires are hundreds of miles away. Find Air quality updates for wildfire smoke here.

Creating a defensible space is more than trimming trees and clearing debris. It also involves thoughtful planning before landscaping. When planting, focus on fire resistant species, spacing, vertical clearance, and fuel reduction. Learn more at https://t.co/5t0RqxW0yc

As we move into fire season, it's important to make sure your homeowner's policy is current and that coverage is adequate. Property insurance helps ensure that you have the financial resources to repair or rebuild your home after a disaster. Give your agent a call today!
