Once again the Atlantic coast could be pummeled by storms this year, forecasters say. With hurricane season upon us -- June 1 through November 30 -- now is the time to make sure you're covered.
"Whether we face an active hurricane season, like this year, or a below-normal season, the crucial message for every person is the same: prepare, prepare, prepare," said Max Mayfield, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center.NOAA expects 13 to 16 named storms in the north Atlantic, with eight to ten becoming hurricanes. That doesn't match last year's record of 28 storms, but it does top the average 11 storms during the Atlantic hurricane season, according to NOAA.
We're not suggesting that you stock up on bottled water right now, but we do recommend that you make sure you have enough -- and the right kind -- of insurance coverage for your home and belongings should a distater strike where you live. These stories will help you prepare.

When Flood Insurance is Necessary
Don't count on your homeowners policy to cover the cost of flood damage. You'll need a special policy.
