FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York Press Office: (212) 346-5500; media@iii.org
NEW YORK, July 16, 2013 — Peak hurricane season is less than a month away, and is predicted to be severe. The time for home and business owners to create their disaster plan and make sure they have the right type and amount of coverage is now, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).
On Tuesday, July 23, the I.I.I. will conduct a satellite media tour with subject matter experts offering advice on how to prepare for hurricanes and other disasters. Topics for discussion include:
Interview slots are available with I.I.I. president and economist, Dr. Robert Hartwig and Jeanne Salvatore, the I.I.I.’s consumer spokesperson. Spanish language interviews are also available with the I.I.I.’s Hispanic Spokesperson, Elianne González.
If your area is not prone to hurricanes, the interview can be tailored to discuss other natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc.
To book an interview with an I.I.I. spokesperson during the Satellite Media Tour on Tuesday, July 23, from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST, contact Lana Jung at Synaptic Digital’s Media Relations Department at 212-812-7132 (lana.jung@synapticdigital.com).
