Prepare for Severe Weather
In 2020 alone, there were 22 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters throughout the United States, resulting in losses and claims for GuideOne customers. With a significant increase in severe weather activity along with COVID-related disruptions in the supply chain, material and labor costs are now higher than ever.
With the summer months upon us and an increased chance for severe weather, we want to make sure you don’t get stuck with costly claims and repairs. That's why we've put together these tips to protect your organization’s property and finances from devastating damages.
Before the storms roll through, be proactive in accomplishing beneficial tasks such as:
-
- Routinely trim dead branches off trees
- Secure outdoor objects that can blow in strong winds
- Have food, water, radios, and a first-aid kit on hand
- Practice safety drills regularly
- Have a professional electrician install a commercial surge protector
-
- Establish an emergency shelter location
- Develop response plans tailored to different weather events, such as tornadoes
- Take special needs of your members and guests (elderly, wheelchairs, walkers) into consideration
- And more
Severe weather can be unpredictable, that's why it's crucial to take proactive measures to protect your property and train your employees for when a severe storm may strike. Visit our website to explore all of GuideOne's severe weather risk management tips.

Social Inflation – and why it matters to you.
‘Social inflation’ is one of the latest buzz words in insurance that describes the rising costs of insurance claims, which results from increased litigation and higher jury awards. Social inflation is fueled by societal trends we hear about daily in the news, including sexual harassment, discrimination and social justice.
