Safety & Insurance

When it comes to an accident occurring on the farm, it’s not a matter of “if” but “when.”

Hurricane season may last from summer through fall, but you can prepare your home or business year-round.

Flooding cases are on the rise; it takes just a few inches of floodwater to cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Here’s why you need flood insurance.

Here in Virginia, we do experience earthquakes and floods, but do you really need earthquake and flood insurance? Is the risk worth the savings? Yes—here’s why.

With unpredictable weather and hurricane season approaching, now is the time to start planning for storm emergencies.

Weather forecasters tend to start talking about hurricanes sometimes as much as two weeks in advance; don’t wait to prepare.

Homeowners insurance policies in Virginia fall roughly in three categories: named peril, open peril, or a combination of the two. Here’s a breakdown of what’s covered by each.

Homeowners are cautioned to not underestimate the destructive force of thunderstorms as they occur far more often and impact more people and homes than hurricanes.

Thunderstorms are dangerous storms that typically include lightning and can include powerful winds, hail, flash flooding and tornadoes.

During Ag Safety Awareness Program Week, March 3-7, American Farm Bureau Federation leaders are sharing resources and encouraging farmers to make safety a priority on their farms.
