Insurance Village Has Been Set Up In Port Charlotte to Assist with Claims

Universal Property and Casualty Insurance Company mobile response unit.

Evolve Insurance Agency has learned that a temporary "Insurance Village" has been set-up in coordination with the Florida Department of Financial Services, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, and 29 insurance carriers in Port Charlotte, Florida. An insurance village is an area established near the landfall of a catastrophic hurricane that puts insurance representative "boots on the ground" in an effort to assist insurance policyholders with filing an insurance claim, and providing immediate access to funds for "Additional Living Expenses" for those who are displaced as a result of covered hurricane damage. Since areas that are hard hit by a hurricane can cut off normal means of communication, this is a way to get insurance representatives in the area for face-to-face assistance and allows for a way to get policy proceeds to the hardest hit customers as fast as possible.

Insurance Village Location: Port Charlotte Town Center Mall Parking Lot
Address: 1441 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, 33948
Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday 10/07/2022 from 8 am - 6 pm

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Cayo Costa, FL on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 and continued on a path through Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, and Hardee counties and then continued further northeast. With Ian's massive size and slow speed, it resulted in catastrophic wind and storm surge damage to thousands of homes in and around it's path. Hurricane Ian has been linked to over 100 deaths.
