In Oklahoma, disasters aren't a matter of if. They're a matter of when.⁣
⁣
In the newest episode of What a Disaster, our disaster recovery team talks about what every household can do before a storm, fire, or flood hits. You'll hear how to build a family plan for the whole house, where to store important documents so they survive fire and water, and why estate planning (wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death deeds), is one of the most overlooked ways to prepare.⁣

Unfortunately, scams often increase after severe storms as people rush to repair damage.⁣
⁣
Before hiring a contractor:⁣
✔️ Get everything in writing.⁣
✔️ Never feel pressured to sign a contract on the spot.⁣
✔️ Be cautious of anyone asking for a large upfront payment.⁣
⁣
If something doesn't feel right, take your time and ask questions. A little extra caution can help protect your home and your finances.⁣
