What would you do if you lost everything in an instant? The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation encourages Oregonians to do three tasks to save time, money, and stress when disaster strikes: Build a home inventory – Build a financial backpack – and Review your insurance coverage. Take time at least once a year to review your insurance coverage. Meet with your insurance agent and make sure you have the right coverage in place to meet your needs. Discuss any upgrades or changes made to the home. Confirm your deductibles and policy limits. And Make sure all the information is still accurate. You can learn more ONLINE
