The Department of Financial Services is hosting three insurance villages Jan. 23-28 in Punta Gorda, Englewood, and Fort Myers
The villages will be an opportunity for policyholders to meet their property insurer in person and work together to resolve outstanding claims.
Representatives from the National Flood Insurance Program and more than a dozen insurers are expected to be on hand to assist insurance consumers.
Policyholders should bring as many documents as possible, including:
- A driver’s license or other form of identification such as a passport or state-issued ID.
- Insurance cards and insurance policy information or documentation
- Photos or documentation of property claimed as loss from Hurricane Ian
- Repair estimate
- And any additional insurance-related information that is easily accessible.
Due to lack of space, the Insurance Villages will focus exclusively on insurance related issues and staff from other agencies will not be present to help with other benefits after the storm.
Insurance Villages will be in Punta Gorda Monday and Tuesday at the Charlotte County Event Center, 75 Taylor Street; In Englewood Wednesday at Tringali Meeting Hall, 3450 N. Access Road; and in Fort Myers Friday and Saturday at Florida Southwestern State College, 8099 College Parkway, Room A177.
There will be no event on Thursday.
All insurance villages will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, go to www.FloridaDisaster.org.
