What's Covered
Homeowners Insurance
Do you have adequate dwelling coverage to rebuild your home at current coastal construction costs? Many Oregon Coast homeowners are significantly underinsured.
Flood Insurance
Does your policy cover flood damage? Standard homeowners policies do not. Flood insurance is essential for any Oregon Coast property.
Wind & Storm Coverage
Does your policy cover Pacific storm damage without excessive coastal exclusions or deductibles? Review your wind coverage carefully.
Wildfire Insurance
Oregon Coast communities face wildfire risk. Does your policy adequately cover wildfire damage and provide defensible space credits?
Business Insurance
If you own a business on the Oregon Coast, do you have general liability, commercial property, and business interruption coverage?
Vacation Rental Coverage
If you rent your property short-term, does your policy cover rental activity? Standard homeowners policies typically do not.
Marine / Boat Insurance
If you own a vessel, do you have dedicated marine insurance? Homeowners policies provide very limited boat coverage.
Auto Insurance
Do you have adequate auto coverage for Oregon's coastal roads and weather conditions? Review your liability limits and uninsured motorist coverage.
How to Use This Checklist
Review Each Coverage Area
Go through each item on the checklist and honestly assess whether you have adequate coverage. If you are unsure, that is a signal to review your policies with an agent.
Gather Your Current Policies
Pull out your current insurance policies and review the declarations pages. Note your coverage limits, deductibles, and any exclusions.
Identify Gaps
Compare your current coverage against the checklist. Identify any areas where you have no coverage or where your limits may be inadequate.
