(BPT) - Recent natural disasters have affected people across the United States. For some, dangerous storms have significantly impacted their lives and property. The greatest concern is everyone's safety. Next, it's assessing cleanups and addressing damage.
The insurance industry plays a critical role in the cleanup and response efforts for people impacted by storms like Hurricanes Helene and Milton. One company making a difference is State Farm®. Alongside 19,000 agents across the country, they have the State Farm Catastrophe Response Team and fleet, the largest in the insurance industry.
These teams are deployed and staged early for strategic response once the storms pass. Trailers and RVs serve as
on-the-spot claims offices, complete with workstations, computers, tents, power generators and satellite access for phone and internet communications.
State Farm teams also offer support, guidance and assistance during critical times when customers need them most, diligently handling claims and providing assistance during the recovery and rebuilding process. Based on covered damages, an advance on claim payments can be provided to customers to meet immediate needs such as temporary housing, transportation and food. Here are some examples of this support in action:
