+ $18,400 in claims

"I was clueless about FEMA claims after Helene flooded our basement. StormReady's 10-minute filing guide walked us through documentation we'd have completely missed. Eighteen thousand four hundred dollars we wouldn't have gotten otherwise."

Saved 6 weeks of cleanup

"After Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers, StormReady's checklist was a lifeline. The flood cleanup kit was at our door before the water fully receded. My neighbors were still waiting in lines at Home Depot two weeks later."

Got 72hr advance warning

"The 72-hour prep alert gave us time to evacuate the kids and pets properly. We came home to a damaged house but everything important — documents, photos, the dog — was safe. That alert was worth more than any insurance policy."
