TAMPA, May 5, 2011 — Florida-based reporters who are planning news stories on Hurricane Season preparedness are invited to contact the Florida representative of the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) at 813-480-6446 for tips on how citizens can take action now to protect their families and property in the event of a hurricane.
The I.I.I. can provide information and analysis on insurance coverage issues to help Floridians understand how their insurance works and what is covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy. With more people renting homes in the current economy, it is important to encourage people to consider renters’ insurance, especially given that a recent poll by the Insurance Research Council found that only 43 percent of renters purchase it.
The I.I.I. can also provide interviews and information in Spanish.
THE I.I.I. IS A NONPROFIT, COMMUNICATIONS ORGANIZATION SUPPORTED BY THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.
