“A lot of Adjusters come in from out of state. They're supposed to be trained, 

but they often don't. 

So it often falls to the property owner to stand up for themselves.” -Amy Bach



Episode Description: 

One of the urgent issues in recovery is insufficient insurance. It is often dismissed by many because of varied reasons. Whereas, for the ones that do have insurance, the process is plain complex and lengthy. But with the trends in disasters today, having insurance is truly a lifesaver. Join United Policyholders Founder Amy Bach, Esq., for Part 2 of How to Navigate Insurance in times of disaster. Jennifer and Amy talk about the coverage of insurance policy, the role of advocacy, laws and opportunities in insurance, as well as money and equity issues. If you are a nonprofit, Amy gives profound advice on how to secure fundings so you can put the victims at the core of your programs. While claiming your insurance, you may meet unscrupulous people trying to swindle you and untrained insurance adjusters evaluating your properties poorly. Listen in for practical guides on how to avoid insurance fraud. Be proactive and take the responsibility to stand up for your own recovery.
