Today, Friday, is likely the last business day that will run normally, with a potential hurricane preparing to affect Florida. Here are some recommendations for the safety of your property, and your boat:

The  Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters  (FAPIA) recommends:   

FWC reminds boaters to prepare vessels for severe weather: When a tropical storm or hurricane affects our state, Florida's boat owners and operators have more to be concerned about than just their homes and families.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has gathered the following informational resources to help boaters prepare for storms and be better able to deal with the aftermath:

Move your vessel if you can and protect it if you can’t.

Cover all lines to prevent chafing.

Charge batteries and make sure they can run automatic bilge pumps throughout the storm.
