Hurricane Preparedness Message
As the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season approaches, we’ve sent policyholders information on checking their insurance coverage, preparing their property, and TWIA’s Policyholder Portal and claim reporting options. The email can be viewed here. Those with an active claim from Hurricane Beryl damage did not receive this message.
