There are many things we plan for.  Planning for medical emergencies while on vacation isn’t one of those things we prepare for.  Hopefully, you will never find yourself in a situation where an emergency comes up, but it’s always good to be prepared.  THINK Insurance & Financial Services wants to help you prepare for your next vacation abroad so you can fully enjoy your time away.

Before You Go

Before you go to the airport and leave Pomona, CA you have to plan.  Here are some things you should consider doing before you go.  

1. Register with the U.S. State Department:  Registering with the US State Department can be done online and will ensure that you get help should an emergency arise while traveling.  
2. Find contact information for the U.S Embassy:  Before you leave, find the contact information for the U.S. Embassy in the country you will be traveling to.  If you have a medical emergency while you are on vacation the Consular at the U.S Embassy should be able to provide aid.
3.   Fill out emergency contact information on passport:  That emergency contact page in your passport is one that’s often overlooked, but if you’re planning to leave the country you might want to revisit that page.  Filling out may prove helpful if you have a medical emergency and will be something that police look for when providing assistance.

 While You’re There

If the unthinkable happens to call for help as soon as possible.   If you have access to your personal phone you can call, and if you don’t you can shout for help.  Once someone comes to have them take you to the nearest medical facility as soon as possible.  

Being prepared before you leave Pomona, CA will help and THINK Insurance & Financial Services is available should you have further questions.  

 

 

 

 

 

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a renter is not taking out renter’s insurance. While you may not own the property you do own the items within the property. If anything is stolen or damaged there is a good chance your landlord will not cover this kind of damage. That is exactly why you need renter’s insurance. So whether you live in or around Pomona, CA the team at THINK Insurance & Financial Services can help. 

Increased Risk of Property Damage

When you live in a home the greatest risk of property damage comes from the people living inside. However, when living in a rental you don’t need to just worry about those living in your unit. You need to worry about everyone. If one person on the other side of the building falls asleep while cooking or plugs too many items into a power outlet it may start a fire that engulfs all of your valuables. When renting a property you’re at greater risk, which is why you need renter’s insurance. 

Protect Your Personal Investments

Do you have an entertainment system? Perhaps you have an expensive gaming laptop or you have an elaborate wardrobe. If these items are stolen or damaged you will likely be out of luck and forced to re-purchase everything. That is unless you have renter’s insurance. Renter’s insurance is a valuable investment to consider as it will safeguard what you currently own within the property you are renting. 

No matter the size of your rental space, whether you’re renting an apartment for yourself or for your family, it is important to invest in renter’s insurance. So if you’re living in or around the Pomona, CA area now is the time to contact THINK Insurance & Financial Services.
