Los Angeles, U.S.A. — Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, including subsidiaries Foremost Insurance, 21st Century and Bristol West, are prepared for deployment to help customers once Tropical Storm Isaac makes landfall in Southern Florida and moves to the Florida panhandle, Alabama and Mississippi coasts.

“Isaac is moving through Cuba and is expected to make landfall in the Florida keys sometime during this week,” notes Paul Quinn, Assistant Vice President Claims for Farmers Insurance. “We will strategically position claims adjusters to deploy to all affected areas after Isaac makes landfall.”

Farmers Insurance advised its customers in Isaac’s projected path to pay close attention to the latest weather reports and begin making necessary preparations.

For those without computer access:

• Create a Home Inventory. Have an up-to-date inventory of all of your personal property.
• Prepare an Evacuation Plan. Plan ahead and map out a safe and smooth evacuation route, and please follow any evacuation orders. Also, have all prescriptions and important papers readily available in case you have to leave your home on short notice. It is also a good idea to have emergency supplies such as flashlights, radio, batteries and water on hand.

“Something we stress is that Farmers, Foremost, 21st Century and Bristol West customers need not go back to their homes for insurance papers when they have been told or have to leave,” Quinn continued. “Calling the hotline 1-800 number is all you need to do.”

Once Isaac makes land fall, Farmers and 21st Century customers with damage should immediately contact their agent or call Farmers’ 24-hour-claims hotline at 1-800-435-7764 for immediate assistance.

Foremost Insurance customers should file their claim by calling: 1-800-527-3907.
