As part of its outreach efforts during hurricane season, the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) encourages all Marylanders to understand what their insurance policies cover and take steps to protect themselves in the event of a disaster. The MIA has published An Insurance Preparedness Guide for Natural Disaster which has information about types of coverage, claim scenarios, important contacts and tips and reminders. The agency can also provide you with a bag designed to protect your most valuable documents during an emergency. To order, email joyce.peach@maryland.gov.
MIA publications offer detailed information on auto, home, life and health insurance for singles, families and senior citizens. Consumers can also follow the MD Insurance Administration on Facebook for events where you can speak to agency representatives one-on-one.
