FEMA has just released its “Top Ten Reasons to Buy Flood Insurance Now.” This is good information to pass along to your insureds to reinforce the value of purchasing flood insurance for their homes and businesses.

Whether you’re a seasoned flood insurance professional or have no desire to become one but need to sell flood insurance anyway, The Hartford has a program for you. Through a partnership with PIA, PIA members in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have the opportunity to offer their customers flood insurance through one of two plan offerings: The Hartford’s Standard program or the Flood Solutions program.

The Standard program includes a web-based application process with the agency doing the customer service administration with Internet and live customer service support. The Flood Solutions program includes a streamlined application process with The Hartford’s Flood Insurance Processing Center doing most of the work.

For more information about The Hartford Flood program and it’s many benefits and services, and to enroll, click on the “PIA Agents” link at www.hartfordfloodinsurance.com or contact Art Brickley, Hartford Flood Program Director toll-free at 1-888-410-2963 x73932, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
