In light of the severe weather experienced last October, key representatives from various insurance firms will hold one-on-one discussions with affected homeowners. This will be followed by a 'town hall' meeting led by the ICA and insurers to educate attendees on the intricacies of filing claims, lodging complaints, and effective recovery strategies from such natural calamities.
Liam Walter, Director of Mitigation and Extreme Weather Response at ICA, highlighted the importance of direct engagement. He noted that local authorities, including federal MP Dan Tehan, have already heard personal storm impact stories during recent meetings with community members. Walter underscored the significance of face-to-face interactions, which can aid residents in navigating the claims process and expedite their recovery journey.
