Longer days, glorious sunshine, and fresh cut lawns. Storm season is upon us. Here at OMAG, we want to help you prepare and keep your property as safe as possible. Should your City or Town have to deal with Mother Nature’s fury, we want to provide you with some information that can assist with your recovery.

Looking ahead: The weather has a large impact on everyone during the spring season and one of the ways to prepare is to monitor storm predictions. The Storm Prediction Center (https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/) and Mesonet (https://mesonet.org/) are great resources to monitor severe weather predictions. We know our meteorologists in Oklahoma have a few misses but overall, they do a great job providing warning on those dreaded days. Pay attention to OMAG social media during storm season as we will do our best to post the latest forecasts to keep you informed. If possible, move autos to a covered area to avoid hail damage.

In the moment: Should severe weather strike your municipality; we know there are several things that need to be addressed. OMAG will do our best to contact municipalities that have been struck by a tornado or other severe weather event we deem necessary to help assist in the claims process. If we can get one building or location set up as a claim, we can assign our appraiser and get them out faster. The quicker they see the damage, the faster we can get you on the road to recovery.

Don’t hesitate to contact the OMAG Claims Department or Insurance Services should you have questions about property damage restoration or mitigation. We can provide some options on who to contact and assist in those areas.

Hopefully we all get through this season without any major events, but there is a high probability that we will have one of those unsettling days. When severe weather happens, take your storm precautions, and know that OMAG will help your municipality get back on its feet. Stay safe everyone!
