Flooding over the past few years is grim reminder
of the devastation caused by natural disasters. They can strike
at any time with little or no warning and leave people and property
in shambles.
Here in the Northwest, we face a number of other potential catastrophes
including: earthquake, wildfire, windstorm, winter weather and
tsunamis. The best way to improve your chances of surviving a
disaster is to develop a sound plan that will help your family
recover financially if your property is destroyed by a natural
disaster.
