NEW YORK, Sept. 14 -- Insurance companies are already deploying thousands of people to cope with what probably will be the largest disaster in insurance history.

"This is why insurance is vital to society," said Gordon Stewart, president of the Insurance Information Institute. "Without insurance, it would be impossible to recover from this disaster. Insurers are committed to the rebuilding of New York City."

On behalf of the insurance industry, the Insurance Information Institute will open a central information office in New York next week.

The National Insurance Consumer Helpline at 1-800-942-4242 is also available daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. EDT, beginning Monday, September 17, to help with questions from businesses and individuals about the insurance implications of this tragedy.

In addition, people may contact the New York State Insurance Department Hotline between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. EDT, seven days a week, at 1-800-339-1759.
