LOUISIANA, U.S.A. (KTVE/KARD) – The Louisiana Department of Insurance released a new publication, Weathering Hurricane Season, addressing storm safety, property damage issues, and insurance policies and coverage for Louisiana residents.
insurance Commissioner Tim Temple said that because of Louisiana’s proximity to the Gulf, and because of the predictions for a higher-than-average hurricane season this year, it is important for residents to be both storm and insurance ready.
“Because we typically begin to see increased hurricane activity in August, our goal is to give citizens the tools and resources to best be prepared in case a storm bears down on our coast,” he said. “This easy-to-read guide provides tips on protecting your property, safeguarding your family and understanding your insurance coverage.”
The Weathering Hurricane Season guide also offers tips to businesses including whether to stay open during a storm, planning for the needs of employees and having a plan in case the business needs to be evacuated.
Temple stated, “We encourage everyone to download and print a copy of this guide and keep it handy throughout hurricane season…”
The guide is available on the LDI website here. You can also download the LDIConnect app, which provides easy access to resources like the LDI Storm Claim Center and Consumer Services contact information, in the App Store and Google Play.
