Bergen County NJ Homeowners Insurance | Winter Weather SafetyThere is no weather condition that stresses the need for good Bergen County NJ homeowners insurance coverage more than icy and snowy weather. From keeping your walkways clear to driving as safely as possible, there are many steps that can be taken ahead of time to prepare for the elements to avoid disaster or inconvenience this New Jersey winter.  Inclement winter weather conditions add hazards to our daily lives that in turn have the potential to create liability issues for homeowners, renters, and drivers. Protection is essential and evaluating your insurance coverage should be a priority.

Items on your must-do winter checklist include:

  • clear icicles
  • shovel walkways around your home, including the driveway
  • keep all stairs free of ice and snow
  • have sand, cinders, or ice melt available to sprinkle on icy areas
  • keep doors to your home and garage doors closed to avoid excess cold entering your home and freezing pipes
  • have snow tires on your vehicles
  • have an ice scraper, a blanket, and a shovel in each vehicle you own
  • make sure the defroster and heat work in your car
  • check your insurance coverage

Throughout the winter season it should be a priority to keep walkways clear of snow and ice.
