FMIT Discussion:

• As of this afternoon, Tropical Storm Rafael is located in the Central Caribbean Sea, South of Cuba.
• Strengthening is expected as the system tracks towards the Gulf of Mexico in the next 24-48 hours.
• Models currently show the potential for development into Hurricane strength by tomorrow.
• Current models project the storm to track into the Gulf of Mexico with potential impacts to the Gulf Coast.
• Regardless of further development the storm will bring heavy wind/rain and potential flood impacts to portions throughout the state.
• The FMIT and SynergyNDS are standing by to support potential impacts related to Tropical Storm Rafael.

Damage Reporting Options:

• Call 844-FMIT-CAT (844-364-8228) to report any losses to your insured property and activate the FMIT Turnkey Recovery program for immediate response to any property losses you may have incurred. Also:

• FLC will be creating claim placeholders for Non-Scheduled PITO once landfall is made. If no damages occur to your NSP assets, they will be deleted, without any effect on property rating. The account contact will receive an email with the information.

• Other than NSP claims, damages to scheduled assets will be tracked using separate Claim Numbers for each asset. In the past, FMIT used one claim number per event. Members can expect there to be multiple claim numbers for their event due to this change. Each claim will be emailed to the account contact for each Member.

• Go online: http://insurance.flcities.com and login to your account and submit your loss notice(s). FMIT and Synergy are immediately notified of your loss submittal.
