International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI®), parent company of
WebCE®, is providing several
free resources to the public in North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Virginia to help victims and insurance professionals navigate the insurance
process after the devastation of Hurricane Florence.
Jack Gibson, IRMI’s president and CEO, commented, “IRMI would like to express
our heartfelt thoughts and prayers for those affected by this devastating
storm. In the days ahead, our industry will be called upon to serve the million
or more people affected by the winds and waters. We know you will be working
hard to process claims quickly and effectively to meet the needs of our fellow
citizens as they return to their homes.”
Those in impacted areas can access three key IRMI references—Personal Risk
Management and Insurance, Commercial Property Insurance, and Commercial Auto
Insurance—along with other flood resources, at no charge until November 30,
2018.
IRMI will hold a free
informational webinar on September 25 at 11 a.m. (EDT) to instruct users on
how to navigate the resources and answer related questions. Topics covered will
include water damage/water exclusions under commercial property and homeowners,
duties after a loss, and difference-in-conditions coverage.
Additionally, IRMI’s guide “Hurricane Florence: 12 Things You Need To
Know Now about Your Insurance” is a consumer-friendly piece to help
insurance professionals get the word out quickly to their clients. Agencies are
encouraged to use the information on their own websites.
These links have been posted to IRMI’s social media channels and can be shared
and distributed freely. IRMI’s founder and chairman, Bill McIntyre, has stated
that he would “like to spread the word far and wide to help the highest number
of people.”
“We know that this tragedy will affect our industry and the citizens of North
Carolina and South Carolina and the surrounding regions for months to come, and
we stand ready to help as the claims paperwork begins,” concluded Mr. Gibson.
