FIC UNVEILS HURRICANE CENTRAL WEB SITE
The Florida Insurance Council has unveiled a new Hurricane Central Web site (www.flains.org) as the site to find reliable hurricane-related information.
The site is part of the industry’s response to legislation passed this session mandating that insurers give consumers better information regarding insurance policies to help Florida residents prepare for hurricanes.
“Our members are re-writing policies that will give greater detail and better explain the policy and its coverages to customers,” Sam Miller, Florida Insurance Council executive vice president said. “This site is an extension of the commitment from our member companies to better serve Florida consumers.”
Following Florida’s horrific 2004 hurricane season, Miller said the Florida Insurance Council’s Web site saw a 335 percent increase in traffic, as Florida residents, business owners and media sought vital information about the storms as well as information to assist with the aftermath of each storm.
The Hurricane Web site can be found at: www.flains.org. Look for the Hurricane Central link on the upper left column.
