Fair Insurance Rates in Monroe (FIRM) holds Hurricane Readiness and Response Forums 

(May 29, 2018 – Key West) FIRM is holding two Hurricane Readiness and Response Forums June 12 and June 13. The focus of these workshops will be to educate attendees on hurricane preparedness, insurance claims processing and coverage, wind mitigation and wet and dry flooding methods, other than elevation. Attendees are encouraged to bring an Elevation Certificate for their property and their flood insurance policy to take advantage of a free Flood Risk Evaluation. Presenters and special guests include Debbie Johnson from the Division of Consumer Services – Florida Department of Financial Services, Andrew Farrell from Smart Vent and Flood Risk Evaluator, Byron Agababian from KeysInspector, Inc., local government floodplain managers, building department personnel, and emergency department personnel.

The forums will be June 12 at the Marathon Government Center and June 13 at Boondocks, both from 5:30-7:30 pm. You may pre-register by calling FIRM at 305-294-3476, emailing [email protected], or by signing up on Facebook or our website at FirmKeys.org. The workshops are free, but registration is appreciated in order to provide ample meeting materials for all attendees.

FIRM is a non-partisan grassroots organization formed to fight for fair property insurance rates for property owners and residents of Monroe County, Florida (Florida Keys). FIRM was recently successful in securing a windstorm insurance rate freeze for Monroe County for 2018 from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) which saved Monroe County policyholders approximately $4 million. FIRM is also currently involved in legal action with the OIR and Citizens Property Insurance Corp. to attempt to roll back the 2017 rate increase for Monroe County. We urge you to attend a forum and to consider donating so that FIRM can continue to fight for fair insurance rates.
