The arrival of summer means time for family vacations and weekend getaways to relax and enjoy those we love. For Floridians, it also means the beginning of hurricane season. As you make travel plans this summer, take the time to ensure your home and belongings are protected while you are away.

As all of us Floridians know, Summer is quickly approaching and will bring along the heavy rains, winds, and storms which threaten our homes if not properly insured and protected. Although these are all red flags in the minds of many homeowners, it is also important to know there are far more threats of water loss inside your home than outside.

Damages due to water losses continue to be the top source of claims in Florida. According to a report conducted by Insurance Journal, the severity and frequency of water loss claims in Florida have steadily increased every year since 2010.

Tax Season is fast approaching and Florida Peninsula Insurance Company would like to remind you to be aware of tax-related identity theft and to take the necessary steps to protect your personal and financial information from identity thieves, who may use the stolen information to file fraudulent refund claims.
