California Wildfire Awareness Week

Governor Brown Has Declared May 1-7 as Wildfire Awareness Week

Mercury Insurance Newsletter:

Our recent rainy season has produced unprecedented brush growth.  Are you prepared?  Here's what you need to know to prepare for the threat of wildfires.

First, create a defensible space around your property. This defensible space reduces the risk that fire will spread from the surroundings to the structure.  Firefighters sometimes do not attempt protecting structures without adequate defensible space, for safety of their teams and their effort is less likely to succeed.  30 feet clearance around the home is required by law.  An additional 70 feet is considered a Reduced Fuel Zone and may apply depending on the steepness of your property and the surrounding vegetation. 

To create a defensible space,

1.      Remove all buildup of needles and leaves from roof and gutters.

2.      Keep tree limbs cut back 10 feet from chimneys and remove dry limbs overhanging the home and garage.

3.      A screen over your chimney outlet of not more than ½ inch mesh is required by law.

Consult the Cal Fire web site for more details http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=8512865&msgid=101826&act=59YQ&c=808017&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fire.ca.gov%2F      

Second, in case of a fire it's helpful to have a household inventory.  Use a digital camera to photograph rooms and contents then take a few minutes to catalogue your possessions and note their values.  If you choose to use a video camera, comment as you go with as many details describing the item(s).  Store your inventory in different places. 

A free Home Inventory Guide is available at http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=8512865&msgid=101826&act=59YQ&c=808017&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.insurance.ca.gov%2F

Now is a good time to review your homeowners' insurance policy with your agent to assure that you have sufficient coverage for your home and personal contents.  Your insurance professional is ready to assist with any questions that arise.

Japanese Earthquake! California are you protected?

California homeowner policies do NOT COVER earthquake or any event like fire or flood caused by an earthquake.

There are several carriers that offer earthquake from the basic to more comprehensive. It can cost just a few hundred dollars a year.

You can not prevent an earthquake but you can protect against it.

Rosebowl Flea Market, This Weekend!!

Last week we went to the Pasadena City College Flea market. We were there 2 hours and did not get through 1/10 of the entire market. It was fantastic! All of us got something. A vintage necklace, bracelet, 2 pairs of shows, rare hard to find records and more! THEN we found out that there is an even bigger flea market at the Rose Bowl the next weekend (this Sunday). We couldn't contain our excitement and we hadn't even left the one flea market and we were already planning our strategy for the next!

From what I can tell the Rose Bowl Flea Market, is huge and the earlier you go the better (don't want to miss out on all the good stuff)!  Crafts, antiques, vinyl, hard to find clothing and so much more! Here is the link to their site with the hours, directions, dates and rules. If I were you I wouldn't miss it (well Im not going to miss it, I am there for sure)!

3 Basic Social Media Tips for California Small Business

3 Basic Social Media Tips for California Small Businesses

Small businesses nationwide are beginning to see what all the social media fuss is about.

More small businesses have been experimenting with social media marketing for the past few years. In this day and age no one looks in the yellow pages anymore. Online is where the majority of consumers look for their local Contractors, Plumbers, Painters, Vendors, Insurance agents, and pretty much any service they need.

The current recession certainly has taken a toll on small businesses; requiring some to minimize costs or close down all together. Those who have managed to hang in there have had to make dramatic cuts on their marketing budgets, allowing little opportunity to advertise for new clients.

Luckily, social media efforts are easy to learn. By adopting similar techniques and strategy, then customizing to fit one’s needs, California Small Businesses can increase awareness of their business and engage both current and potential customers.

Interested in dabbling in social media to increase your marketing efforts? Give these 3 basic tips a try:

Listen: People are talking about your business. They may be raving or they may have some complaints. Get social with them; find out what’s on their minds, what they’re looking for in a vendor, what issues or problems they may be having and how you can be of service to them.

Engage: Social media isn’t a tool you can simply plug in and let run—you have to put the effort in. It is the act of social engagement that actually creates the awareness of your business and inevitably will earn you sales. Creating a positive presence on social sites is required, but that alone is not enough; you need to create conversation between yourself and your target audience.

Respond: Might seem like a no brainer, but as a representative of your business you need to respond to what is being said. You begin by actively listening to what others are talking about, and then when appropriate you provide valuable knowledge and insight. This is where you can let your expertise shine—it will strengthen your credibility in the eyes of your customers.

Whether you are a social media pro or a beginner, these simple tips are useful for any small business in Woodland Hills looking to revise and refresh their marketing strategy. Social media isn’t going anywhere, so now is the time to buckle down and leverage this powerful tool to gain you business.

–And, while you’re at it why not spruce up all aspects of your business including your General Liability, Property, Workers Compensation or other business insurance. The Trident Agency Insurance offers all these insurance products and much more, so contact us today!

7 ways couples stay happy and close!

By Charlotte Latvala, REDBOOK

When I was single, I thought marriage was like that Beatles song: "All You Need Is Love." Of course, I still think love is an important part of the mix, but now that I'm a little older and wiser -- and a veteran of 12 years of wedded bliss -- I know that you need a lot of other things, too.

My husband, Tony, and I, for instance, couldn't survive without central air-conditioning (when I'm hot, I'm horribly cranky), his and hers bookshelves (sorry, my precious set of Jane Austen hardbacks can't be defiled by his swaggering Robert Ludlums) and a phrase we both use to stop the drama when we're arguing and frustrated ("Let's cut to the chase here").
Our "can't live without" list has changed over the years (the water bed is long gone; comfortable dining room chairs are in), but certain essentials are here to stay. Read on for a surprising list of what every couple must have -- besides that beguiling basic, love -- to keep their bond going strong.

Related: How to Fix Any Intimacy Issue in Marriage

1. A beautifully framed picture from your falling-in-love days.
Of course you need some wedding photos around the house, but those shots are often about so much more than just the two of you, such as your families, the fabulous dress and the dizzying, hectic stress of it all. So display -- prominently -- a snapshot from your dating days, too, says psychologist Diana Kirschner, Ph.D., author of Opening Love's Door. "Looking at a photo of the two of you sitting in a canoe, or wherever, all gaga over each other, is an instant way of returning to that state when you were falling in love," she says. "You always want to stay in touch with that magic chemistry you first had and strive to go back to those days in some way."

2. A movie you both love.
For many years of dating and marriage, Tony and I had opposite tastes in movies (me: historical, character-based films; Tony: big-bang action movies and complicated thrillers). I was always a little sad that we rarely snuggled up on the couch to ooh and ahh over the same flicks. Then, The Lord of the Rings movies came along. We were both captivated (sword fighting and manly allegiances for Tony, complex characters and moral dilemmas for me -- and Sean Bean and Viggo Mortensen didn't hurt, either). We've finally found a flick -- well, three -- that we're equally passionate about. And we get a "this is our thing" glow whenever one of us throws out a LOTR-ism, such as calling the space between my son's bed and the wall (where all the Lego pieces and Matchbox cars disappear) the Crack of Doom or quoting Gandalf ("Keep it secret, keep it safe") when one of us entrusts the other to make a bank deposit.

3. A unique anniversary to celebrate.
Your wedding anniversary is a lovely date to remember, but it's not the only milestone that matters. It's even more intimate to celebrate less public moments, such as your first kiss, first vacation together or -- hey -- even the first time the pregnancy test turned blue.

Lisa Woods, 42, and her husband, Larry, take an evening car ride every year on August 17 -- the anniversary of their first date. "That night, 20 years ago, we drove around and listened to Dr. Ruth on the radio and laughed so hard," says the New Castle, PA, woman. "Now, we can't find Dr. Ruth on the dial, but we still listen to talk radio and laugh about life." The annual drive always ends at the same place -- McDonald's. "We split the two-cheeseburger meal," she says. "Silly but true -- because that's all we could afford on our first date."

4. An empty-nest dream.
Sometimes late at night, Tony and I talk about how our lives will be when our three children are grown up and out of the house. We'll travel. I'll write novels; he'll make cabinetry in his neglected basement workshop -- we'll have a new and exciting life together. I'm not sure how much of this will happen, but talking about it makes us feel close.

Tom Lee, Ph.D., a professor of marriage and family studies at Utah State University, recently completed a survey of 1,400 married people. One of the findings was that couples who regularly discuss their long-range plans are more likely to stay happily married. "If you have a long-term view, you realize that the daily ups and downs don't mean as much," he says. "Talking about your shared future communicates, 'I plan on being here.' The message is that there are plenty of good times yet to come."

5. A fight that never ends.
Every couple has areas where they'll never see eye-to-eye. For Alison Delsite Everett, 38, of Steelton, PA, that meant accepting her husband's love of deer hunting. "I'm an animal lover, so I hate it when Chris hunts," she says. "But he understands how much it bothers me, so he'll pack up his gear the night before a hunt; that way I don't have to see him carrying a gun. He even stores his game at his parents' house." In turn, Alison doesn't make snide comments or try to make Chris feel guilty about his pastime. "We've learned to respect each other's opinions, and that's made our marriage stronger," she says.

Of course, every marriage has its own uniquely prickly issue -- maybe for you it's time spent with your in-laws, conflicting attitudes about money or differing styles of disciplining the kids. The point is, you can agree to disagree and still have a happy, healthy relationship -- if you both accept your differences with grace and good humor.

6. Mad money.
Sure, you have funds earmarked for bills and savings, but every couple also needs a just-for-fun account, says Brown University psychiatry professor Scott Haltzman, M.D., author of The Secrets of Happily Married Men. "You need to put some money aside that won't destroy your budget when you use it," he says. Spend it on a spur-of-the-moment weekend trip, a pricey bottle of champagne or front-row tickets to a concert you're dying to see.

7. An oversize beach blanket.
Forget about taking it to the shore with the kids; this one is for lovemaking anywhere in the house, says Haltzman.

Cyber Liability and Online Fraud

The internet has, without a doubt, boosted business for most business owners through offering the convenience of online ordering and payment options as well as more marketing exposure.  Because of the increased cyber exposures specifically regarding confidential customer information entered on websites, businesses small and large rank need a type of Commercial Insurance called Cyber Liability. Many times, owners, managers or even employees own laptops containing confidential customer information.   On average, a lost laptop causes a business loss of $49,276, most of the loss being linked to data breach costs.   

It is important to mention that Cyber Liability is not included in the Commercial Insurance you typically purchase for your business and if you keep any kind of electronic data and use the internet to conduct business you have a cyber risk.

New Years Resolutions A Thing of The Past?

O.K., so how’s it going with those New Years resolutions? Is January’s goals now a thing of the past? Are you staying on track with your workout regiment, how bout the budget or maybe that new schedule. Getting Organized is one of the most frequent new years resolutions people make. With that said; did your new years resolution include getting your Homeowner’s Insurance policy in order? How about inventorying the items in your home? One of the most frequent questions we get at The Trident Agency when reviewing a Homeowner’s policy is, how do the adjusters know what I had if everything was destroyed.? While adjusters do a great job of determining a value for items that were lost or destroyed, insureds can minimize the stress by being prepared. One of the easiest things a California Homeowner can do is to video their personal belongings. Here at The Trident Agency we always recommend that you set a side a Saturday or Sunday and go from room to room with the video camera rolling. It is always helpful if someone can narrate during the video to help explain some of the details surrounding the different items within the individual rooms. Another recommendation is to lay small or valuable items out on a blanket so that they can be seen clearly. This is an especially good idea with jewelry. Once you have your video complete we like to recommend that insureds go back through and make a list of items that have serial numbers on them. It is also a good idea to record additional information such as makes, models. purchase prices etc…. If you have any items such as jewelry, art or guns you should talk with your agent about adding them to your Trident Home Insurance policy. In closing always make sure that you keep your inventory lists in a safe place away from your home.

Protect Your California Home: Combat Flooding and Water Damage

No matter where you are located across the state of California, the onset of spring weather can bring with it a slew of problems—if the necessary precautions have yet to be taken. Nothing is more frustrating than dealing with a wet basement and household water damage.

Whether it’s the extra spring precipitation, a plumbing mishap in your home or simply your location along the California coastline, water damage is possible and by spotting the first signs early enough you can stop the issue from growing. They “symptoms” may seem trivial at first – a few water stains on your bathroom ceiling or a leak under the kitchen sink – but with continued disregard and seasonable rain, those small issues can turn into major problems.

As a California homeowner, recognizing the causes of water damage can help you prevent damages to your home and personal possessions.

Common causes of water damage include:

Broken pipes & hoses

Household accidents – overflowing bathtubs and broken toilets

Flash flooding and excessive rain

Sewer back up – tree roots are common violators!

There are many ways you can take a proactive approach and prevent water damage from causing chaos within your California home. Start by evaluating your property and determine any possible sources of water damage; then try utilizing some of these maintenance tips:

Keep your gutters free and clear of any debris

Check for leaks under the sink where the hoses connect to the water supply

If your refrigerator has a built in icemaker, check the hose connection and be aware of any wet spots on the floor.

Replace any weakening caulk around sinks

In addition to appliances and the general upkeep of your home, location can also play a significant role in you water damage woes. Live in a high-risk flooding area? You may want to consider adding extra, enhanced protection to your California Home policy to cover flood and water damage.

With roughly a month left until Spring all of us at The Trident Agency hope you enjoy the spring weather, and while you’re out and about doing some spring cleaning, stay up to date on these important water maintenance needs!
