Operation Storm Ready
North Carolina has seen more than its fair share of hurricanes over the past decade. While these storms fall within a season from June to November, planning for them should start well in advance to make sure your home and business are STORM READY for the possible financial impacts that follow a hurricane.
For this year’s Hurricane Season, IIANC is providing consumers and agents with tools you can use to Put A Plan in Place. While we don’t know what might come to our shores this year, having a plan together well in advance will ensure that your homes and businesses are properly armed with the right insurance to help you weather the financial storm that can come after the hurricane passes.
From June through September, IIANC will share a public service campaign on our Facebook page encouraging all North Carolinians to make sure they are STORM READY by Putting a Plan in Place to protect their homes, businesses, and families in the event of a hurricane. We will discuss vital information to help your clients learn and understand what coverage they need before a storm hits. IIANC members are encouraged to share this information on social media and with clients. Check out the Agent Resource Guide in the IIANC Member Resources section below for more details.
