 When
it comes to hurricanes and
tropical storms, Floridians have
learned first hand that it pays
to be prepared. To help you be
better prepared, we have
information to help you lessen
the impact of a major storm or
hurricane. Whenever a tropical
storm or hurricane takes aim at
our state, Florida's Chief
Financial Officer activates a
special consumer helpline
through which you can seek
assistance on any insurance
matter. The number is
1-800-22-STORM, or
1-800-227-8676. |

The best
time to make important decisions about
your family's safety is before disaster
strikes. Past events have shown that
people who think ahead, prepare, and
have a plan fare best during and after a
disaster. This is true whether the
disaster is natural, like a hurricane,
or manmade, like a terrorist attack. For
