Free Information Resources for Hurricane Harvey

DALLAS, Sept. 3 -- The International Risk Management Institute issued the following news release:

International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI(R), has opened several resources to the public at no charge to help victims and insurance professionals navigate the insurance process after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in late August.

Jack Gibson, IRMI's president and CEO, commented, "IRMI would like to express our heartfelt thoughts and prayers for those affected by Hurricane Harvey. In the days ahead, our industry will be called upon to serve those affected by this catastrophic event. We know you will be working hard to process claims quickly and effectively to meet the needs of our fellow citizens as they return to their homes."

IRMI would like to support your important work by making our publications Personal Risk Management and Insurance (PRMI) and Commercial Property Insurance (CPI), along with other flood resources, available at no charge until September 30, 2017.

We know that this tragedy will affect our industry and the citizens of Houston and the surrounding region for months to come, and we stand ready to help as the claims paperwork begins.

Additionally, our FAQ page titled "Hurricane Harvey: 12 Things You Need To Know Now about Your Insurance" is a consumer-friendly piece to help insurance professionals get the word out quickly to their clients. We encourage agencies to use the information on their own websites. A webinar will also be available, as will links to additional sources of information.

These pages have been posted in IRMI social media, and we encourage sharing. Our founder and chairman, Bill McIntyre, has stated that he would "like to spread the word far and wide, to help the highest number of people."
