Spring has arrived. April showers are bound to bring May flowers but hopefully they don't bring floods, too.
The Ohio Department of Insurance has some important recommendations regarding flooding (and protecting yourself financially from resultant damage).
-
Most communities can experience a flood after heavy or long-stretches of spring rain.
-
A home has 4 times greater risk of being damaged in a flood versus the risk of fire.
-
Most flood damage occurs outside of areas labeled as a "flood zone."
-
Damage caused by flooding is only covered by flood insurance. It must be purchased seperate from homeowners insurance.
For more information about flood safety and protecting your home, please read more at http://www.weathersafety.ohio.gov. And for information or a quote on flood insurance, please contact an agent here at Kelly Insurance Agency, Inc. |

Now that Facebook is the most-visited site on the Internet, it's a primary target of hackers looking to phish for your personal information. One of the latest scams is a password-stealing virus that comes from Facebook's own e-mail system and contains the Subject line: "Facebook password reset confirmation customer support." It then directs the user to click on Web link or attachment to create a new password for their account. If a person opens the attachment or clicks the Web link in the e-mail, the virus loads onto the system, starts logging all credentials used from that system and sends them to hackers on the Internet to use at their will. To protect your information, do not click on this attachment and if you get this e-mail, delete it immediately from your inbox. And as a general rule, anytime you receive an e-mail requesting that you change your password to an account, do not comply. Most organizations will not use e-mail to communicate the need to change your passwords to their system. These are phishing scams that infect your computer systems with viruses or other unsolicited malware. When in doubt, contact the organization from which the e-mail request came by going directly to their Web site (not through a link in an e-mail) or calling them directly for help.

For Ohioans who have no health insurance, now is the time to enroll. A health care reform law that went into effect January 1 makes it more affordable for new applicants with pre-existing conditions to enroll in a health insurance plan, making it important for Ohioans to act now.
Add to that, the Obama administration is in the midst of passing legislation that will require that every US resident carries health insurance protection in some form or another.
Get an early start and save yourself a long wait and a lot of hassle later. Our health insurance specialist, Thomas Ames, is here to impress you with a well customized (and well priced) policy to meet your needs. Call today -- 330-929-3056. |
