Next round table will focus on contents and Adjuster Buddy. 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm What to do before and during and after the hurricane or storm. David Coggin with Coggin & Associates presented hurricane preparedness presentations, discussed hurricane checklist, evacuation plans and hurricane property damage of assessing damage to your property and vehicles. Joe also gave great advice of having surge protectors or unplug all of your appliances and computers and turn of your AC, flip the breaker switch just in case the storm shuts down the power and this helps prevent an electrical surge and always use your better judgement before, during, and after a storm. Stay prepared at all times. Keep your cell phones charged at all times prior to a storm in case of power outages. Next speaker for the evening was our MCA member Fred Walsh with Fountain Group, LLC– 34 years’ experience in flood claims. Discussed with the adjusters the importance of always being up to date and stay up to date on your continuing education and claims knowledge, and always staying prepared, especially prior to hurricane season, keeping your adjusters licenses up to date. Fred further discussed how insured can prep their homes for possible flood claims during hurricane season or pre catastrophic weather by taking pictures of your personal property. This helps the insureds in the worst times to get their lives back together for quicker claims handling in catastrophic times. Go over every claim detail with your insureds which is very important. Buy and stock up on your pre hurricane supplies prior to hurricane season and make sure your emergency contacts are on hand and updated. Our MCA president thanked our roundtable speaker presentations and opened the floor to elected and recommended officers for the 2022-2023 year.
