Floridians should be alert for the potential impacts of Hurricane Ian, which is forecast to make landfall in the state in the middle of this week, according to the [Insurance Information Institute](https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3659064-1&h=409565556&u=https%3A%2F%2Fu12097671.ct.sendgrid.net%2Fls%2Fclick%3Fupn%3D4PC2wo0fWhUBQdJDPL-2FxetfPs8m-2BVx2R2-2FF4PcqDgA8-3DynXA_yA-2F8ngex6wP8k6ZI3ayrSw4buKGooTF-2F2EaqUincsr9iZL0ydM11PXaETxJCZDETRMpfo3VeBM7dpzs3aw9C3FuWPzF4jlbvobCyKUwTBZXithcYnq704W6v4bGH9ZixfTTyGgd57zw7-2FztEZkkxRbbK66Zglw2-2BYTjVHrN-2BW-2BL7z90xsywWWh-2Bb67As4v6ApNm2C05SZzoc8Vzzt9IyY4qstVLKWGUB4bH0j-2FVguWHZfivk7g8YSI9KzxWgo7b0K-2F5X1SUiBWw9X-2BPf2Ci2agrrhkRBWXGmhqsmd3aBHYL74YmtwccG9ylcpYuVoE0UplzPp6UlwfUM0o0LWz0icQCxxQNDrjjGrmKdpsr64lcatbxI-2BUyKasyUCbG7nT-2B0l01-2F2u6tmHw1bMJNsrLY3I5GhLh4id-2BMjiqoc5Kd03c8AAPeCjWpqCY4KCNKgF0A&a=Insurance+Information+Institute) (Triple-I). 

The Triple-I offers these preparedness tips for all residents in Ian's path: 

- Review your evacuation plan and, if you have a pet, your pet's evacuation plan 
- Make sure your hurricane kit includes a minimum seven-day supply of non-perishable food and drinking water (one gallon per person, per day) for all family members and pets, as well as a one-week supply of medications for everyone in your household.
- Write down the name and phone number of your insurer and insurance professional and keep this information either in your wallet or purse 
- Purchase emergency supplies, such as batteries and flashlights 
- Fully charge your cell phones so you can receive weather alerts
- Prepare your yard by removing all outdoor furniture, lawn items, planters and other materials that could become airborne due to high winds 
- Fill your car's gasoline tank 

Damage caused by hurricanes and tropical storms are covered under different insurance policies, according to the Triple-I.
