MIAMI – September is National Preparedness Month and Friday, Sept. 30 is National Preparedness Day. Getting ready for the storm is especially important now that Tropical Storm Matthew has formed in the Caribbean and could impact Florida.
We spoke with the director of National Hurricane Center during The Morning Show. "We urge people to do things now to survive the event and be prepared financially where insurance becomes a big part of your preparedness equation," director Richard Knabb said.
Leslie Chapman-Henderson, the CEO of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, reminds people to double check their policies. Flood insurance is not always included in your regular hurricane plan.
