Make sure your homeowners or renters insurance is up to date. A good place to start is making sure you know what your policy covers. You don’t want to get caught in a crisis sifting through papers looking for details about your policy. There’s also a good chance that you’ll want to make adjustments to your policy once you read it carefully. Keep an inventory of your possessions—you’ll get faster service if you need to file a claim
