Georgia Business Radio – Recovering and Rebuilding after a Storm
Advice on Working with Insurers, Rebuilding and Recovering After a Catastrophe
Interview With:
Oyango Snell, Regional Manager Property Casualty Insurers Association of America
In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, many are getting ready for what can be a challenging recovery. The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) offer LOCAL recovery advice to those hit by the storm to make the recovery process smoother, progress more quickly and answer common post-storm property insurance questions.
Most hurricane and severe weather-related events are covered by either homeowners, automobile, renters or commercial insurance policies. Renters insurance provides coverage to policyholders’ possessions. Business owners are covered under their commercial policies. Protection from windstorm or hail damage for cars is covered under the comprehensive portion of the automobile insurance policy.
Station Note: The funding sponsor of this segment is the Property Casualty Insurance Association of America.
