advises policyholders with questions regarding their coverage for damage
caused by Hurricane Wilma to call the number provided on their policies or
contact their insurance agent.
Those policyholders unable to get to their policies can contact special toll-free numbers set up by insurance companies. Flood insurance policyholders who don't know who their insurer or administrator is can contact the National Flood Insurance Program at (800) 427-4661. The only information required is your name, the state where you live and your zip code. For tips on how to settle an insurance claims after a disaster, click on the link below.
