The Caribbean region is now into its second month of this year’s hurricane season and with four plus months to go, NAGICO Insurances encourages the community to be prepared in the event of a storm or major hurricane.
Managing Director Mr. Eric Ellis: "We advise all our clients to be prepared. The following tips may be helpful: Ensure that your insurance documents are safely stored in water tight bags or containers, together with other important legal or medical documents during any storm. Families should identify the "safe rooms" in their homes and have an escape route in place, including identifying their neighborhood’s designated hurricane shelters. For persons wishing to check the status of their insurance coverage or obtain coverage against potential risks during a storm, weather it may be life, medical, property or automobile insurance, they may visit any of our authorized agents or Customer Service Representatives at our offices in Philipsburg or Marigot.
Marketing Officer Jimmy Challenger stated: To aid the community we have updated our hurricane companion to include essential emergency contact numbers for all the 15 islands where we operate. The hurricane checklist, containing pointers on what to do before, during and after a storm is also provided. Copies of the Hurricane Companion / Map are now available at our head office or can be downloaded from our website: www.nagico.com The website also contains links to other international hurricane info pages such as www.Stormpulse.com NAGICO remains committed to providing information and necessary insurance coverage during this hurricane season."
