The South Carolina Department of Insurance
Hosts a Catastrophe Claims Center in Florence, SC
The South Carolina Department of Insurance will host a Catastrophe Claims Center in Florence, SC Tuesday,
October 18th to assist consumers with their insurance questions and claims resulting from Hurricane Matthew. We
had a good turnout at our first event in Bluffton and we encourage anyone that has experienced property damage
from the hurricane in the greater Florence area to come out to the center so that we may assist them in their claims
process and help them recover as quickly as possible, said Ray Farmer, Director of the South Carolina Department
of Insurance.
South Carolina Department of Insurance staff will be available to assist and answer questions and will be joined by
South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and many
of the major insurance companies covering the property and automobiles damaged in this event. Additionally, the
South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles will have a mobile unit on hand that can provide credentials and
duplicate tiles or registrations if consumers lost their originals in the storm.
