-- According to the definition provided by the insurance industry, a catastrophe is any natural disaster that causes damage to a certain amount. Currently, to be considered a catastrophic situation, the damage must reach $25 million in insured damage.
A privately owned insurance company may decide to declare a "catastrophe" situation based on the anticipated losses their policyholders will have in the affected area. In an effort to respond to these claims, many insurance companies and adjusters will set up special processing centers for claims and establish emergency hotlines that are operating 24 hours a day. Additionally, specially trained adjusters are typically deployed to the impacted area.
"With the recent events in Texas and Florida, with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, it is now more important than ever for individuals to make preparations when they know a serious, natural event is headed their way," stated company representative Mark Vetrovec. "While we offer daily claim adjuster services to our clients in impacted areas, being prepared is the best way to minimize damage and reduce the impact to yourself, your belongings or your home after a natural disaster strikes."
Flooding is the top natural disaster seen; however, coverage for floods, which is defined as rising water, is not included in the majority of homeowner's policies. It is imperative for home and vehicle owners to take note of this before a natural disaster strikes and purchase the additional coverage needed to protect their assets.
"When disaster strikes, time is of the essence," continued Vetrovec. "At Aspen Claims Services we understand that which is why we set up 24/7 emergency response services for our clients in areas affected by any type of natural disaster. With hurricanes, flooding and other issues resulting in billions of dollars of damage each year, being prepared, informed and aware of what you should do before, during and after the event will help make the entire process less stressful."
