Be Prepared for Hurricane Season

Few Texans will forget August of 2017 – Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 hurricane made landfall near Rockport, Texas causing widespread damage. More than 30 inches of rain fell on over 8 million people, based on 7-day rainfall totals ending August 31. This historic U.S. rainfall caused massive flooding that displaced over 30,000 people and damaged or destroyed over 200,000 homes and businesses.*

We put together a few tips to make sure you’re prepared and protected this hurricane season:

If your personal or business property has sustained damages and you need to file a claim, we encourage you to contact your carrier directly to expedite the process. Below are instructions on how to file a claim and the contact information for the personal and commercial carriers Frost partners with.

Most insurance carriers offer apps allowing you to file a claim directly quickly and easily. Check your app store to see if your carrier offers this technology.

We are here to help. Call us at (866) 227-2099 or you may reach out to your local Frost Insurance office at the numbers below.


1. Protect property from further damage.

  • Cover the property if it is exposed to the elements.
  • Make temporary repairs, if reasonable and necessary, to protect the property from further damage.
  • Maintain a record of all expenses incurred.
  • Separate damaged from undamaged personal property.

2. Take photos of damage (if possible).

3. Prepare an inventory of damaged personal property.

  • List quantity, description and value.
  • Attach bills, receipts, estimates and related documents.

4. Retain damaged property until a claims adjuster approves its disposal (unless a danger to safety exists).

  • The adjuster may need to inspect the property.
  • The insurance company may be able to salvage the damaged property.

5. Notify police in the case of theft.

6. Expect to be contacted by the claims adjuster within two working days. Please call Frost Insurance if you have not been contacted within that timeframe.

  • If the damage significantly affects your continuing operations, we will request that the insurance carrier expedite your claim.
  • Please let us know immediately if your circumstances change and this loss will have a greater impact on your business than originally anticipated.

7. Be prepared to provide additional information as requested by the claims adjuster.

8. Consider or plan for alternative arrangements in the event your premises has damage that does not permit you to remain there.
