For homeowners, hurricane insurance can be a valuable tool to help protect their home and assets. It covers the full cost of hurricane damages, including lodging costs and meals at a restaurant while your home rebuilds. Reconstruction can often take months, or even years. You will need to be ready to pay a deductible if you wish to file a claim.
Wind
You should have hurricane insurance if you live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes. A deductible is an extra cost that you might have to pay if you do not have hurricane insurance. The deductibles can vary from one state to the next, but they generally range between 1% and 5%. Some states allow you to choose either a higher percentage of a flat amount.
Hail
The amount of insurance payout for hail damage depends on the insurer's assessment of the damage, and your policy's limits. Insurance companies may require that you pay a deductible before they will pay for any damage. Most homeowner insurance policies will include a minimum deductible.
Backup from the sewer
Your standard home insurance policy does not cover sewer backup, so make sure you have the right coverage. Some insurance companies have policies that provide coverage for this type of emergency. Before you apply for insurance, it is important to determine if your property is in a high-risk zone.
Additional living expenses
Additional living expenses coverage is available under your homeowner’s insurance policy for those who are affected by a hurricane. This coverage pays for rent and hotels as well as other living expenses.
Wind-driven waters
Additional perils such as wind-driven water may be covered by a policy that covers hurricanes. It is often included in the policy's description. Unfortunately, policies do not often cover wind-driven storms. Insurers may not cover wind-driven rainfall because it is a different form of flood damage.
Storm surge
In a hurricane, a storm surge is water pushed up on land by high winds. Storm surge is a combination of normal tides and storm surge that can cause severe flooding along the coast. Although storm surge is usually not covered under property insurance policies for homeowners, there have been disputes about its coverage.

How To
How to Build a Fishtrap to Survive
A fish trap can be described as a device used to capture fish. It consists of two parallel bars (the "trays") that form a funnel shape. The water flows into the trap end and collects at the bottom. This causes the water level in the tray to rise. The water level rises and falls through the second bar. This allows the fish trapped to escape.
Fish traps have been used since ancient times to catch salmon. These traps still function today. However, they can also be used to catch freshwater catfish like bass and carp.
You can make your own fish trap if you can access a large enough pond. The trap's interior will need to be lined with some material. A commercial fish trap kits can be bought online if you don’t have much space. These kits usually include everything you need except the materials to construct your trap.
If you do decide to make your own fish trap, here are some things to keep in mind when building it:
-
Ensure the sides of the trap are strong, so the water doesn't leak through them.
-
Try to choose a place that has plenty of sunlight so that the sun will warm up the water.
-
You should use concrete or stone as the trap's base because particles of sand and gravel tend to be attracted to surfaces that are not smooth.
-
The trap should be free of all debris to ensure the fish aren't caught.
After you've constructed the fishtrap, you need to place it close to the edge. Don't worry if the fish escape; leave the trap alone for a few days until they start swimming back in. It is not necessary to clean the trap, as it should remain moist. If you notice dead fish around the pond you can easily remove them.
