As the threat of wildfires grows stronger in the west, knowing how to protect your home or business could be the difference in having a major loss. Our VP of CAT Operations Tom Brocksmith was recently quoted in a related article found here: https://bit.ly/4f6NEkq

After Hurricane Beryl, the Colorado State University updated their Atlantic hurricane season by an increase of 2 named storms, an increase of 1 Hurricane, and an increase of 1 Major Hurricane. That brings the total predictions to 25 named storms, 12 Hurricanes, and 6 Major Hurricanes. With such an active season predicted, preparation for policyholders and insurers is key. The below article takes a deeper dive into the aftermath of Beryl, with our own VP Richard Folkman giving his expert insights. https://bit.ly/3WdrvZ0

Take a moment to show some appreciation for our dedicated Senior CAT Resource Coordinator, Rochelle Gaul! Her commitment to ensuring every adjuster is well-prepared and supported exemplifies the heart of our team. "One aspect I admire most about my job is the gratitude that I receive from adjusters when you assist them with getting on a deployment. I often hear them say, 'thank you for your patience and taking the time to explain in detail the information regarding the assignment.' It feels good to know you helped someone and provided guidance to support them being successful on the deployment." Thank you for your dedication to our adjusters, Rochelle! #CatastropheManagement #EmployeeAppreciation
