"Find out if you have comprehensive coverage (and) document damages soon as possible while staying safe," he said. "take photos, take videos and reach out to your insurance provider with the claim."
He said Florida homeowners should definitely review their home policies with hurricane season a few weeks away.
"Expect the unexpected," Jenkins said. "Every zone is a flood zone in Florida."
For cars that end up disabled in a flooded area, AAA will tow the owner's vehicle on a "case-by-case" situation."
