ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
”Independent insurance agents not only advise clients about insurance, but they’re disaster readiness experts,” says Robert Rusbuldt, Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) president & CEO. “It is imperative to know what your risks are and what to do in the event of a disaster. We recommend meeting with a Trusted Choice®independent insurance agent who is an expert in assessing your risks and insuring that you, your family and your home are prepared in the event of a disaster.”
Trusted Choice® and the Big “I” offer many disaster-specific readiness and recovery tips for consumers. To access go to www.trustedchoice.com.
Luckily, this unfortunate — and often costly — information gap is completely avoidable. When it comes to insurance, knowledge is your best policy. That’s why the IIANF is encouraging business owners and consumers to get smart about their coverage.
FINAL NOTE
IIANF feels one of your best resources for disaster preparedness and catastrophe planning is your Northeast Florida independent insurance agent. Corrine Garrison, a past president of IIANF (2003-2004) and long time member of IIANF states, “We believe IIANF members are the best resource for our clients’ and customers’ insurance-related questions and concerns. This Web site and its links as well as the Web site of IIANF members provide the perfect opportunity for us to connect with business owners and consumers to encourage them to get smart about their coverage and about disaster preparedness."
