Liberty Mutual Distributes Disaster Guides Nationwide

The 2006 hurricane season begins in one week, and homeowners from Corpus Christi to Coral Gables to Cape Cod hopefully are heeding the advice of government officials, disaster relief organizations, and insurers by taking actions to protect their homes and families against potential disaster.

This week and next, a helpful natural disaster guide will arrive in the mailbox of every Liberty Mutual home and auto insurance customer as a special four-page insert to the company’s Liberty Lines safety magazine. The insurer is sending more than 3 million guides in three regional editions — hurricane, tornado, and wildfire/earthquake — to its customers in all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, Guam, and other at-risk locales.

Anyone who is not a Liberty Mutual policyholder can obtain a free copy of the guide specific to his or her area online at http://www.libertymutualinsurance.com/.

“Preparation is the best defense against a natural disaster,” said Ted Gramer, Liberty Mutual senior vice president, Personal Claims. “You can’t change the path of a hurricane, tornado or wildfire, but you can certainly take action to minimize the impact these catastrophes can have on your family and your home.”
