According to the Sun Sentinel, Get Ready! Florida — a partnership that promotes hurricane preparedness — conducted a poll of 1,000 registered voters and found significant gaps in Floridians’ knowledge about how to get safely through hurricane season.
Only a few knew that a poorly secured garage door could allow the storm to penetrate their homes, a badly placed generator could cause death from carbon monoxide gas, and that the possession of homeowners insurance wouldn’t protect them from “a severe financial hit after the storm.”
In fact, when it comes to insurance, 85% of the people polled did not know that the typical hurricane deductible is $5,000. According to another study, 59% of homeowners didn’t know what ‘replacement value’ means in terms of home insurance reimbursement.
