GEICO Places CAT Teams on Standby as TS Katrina Makes Her Way Towards Florida

GEICO’s Catastrophe Response Teams (CAT) are on standby, ready to assist if Tropical Storm Katrina touches down in the Southeastern Florida area and vehicles are damaged.

GEICO is also broadcasting its 1-800-841-3000 number on local radio and TV stations so residents can get in immediate contact with the company’s 24-hour claims teams in the area.

George Rogers, GEICO’s regional vice president for Florida operations,
says that additional information is also available at http://www.geico.com with preparedness tips, links to other important hurricane information and weather sites, and immediate claims handling capabilities.

GEICO urges policyholders to take all necessary steps to protect their
families, their homes and their vehicles prior to the storm.

All GEICO policyholders are urged to call 1-800-841-3000 as soon as any storm damage affects them and their claims will be processed immediately. GEICO will dispatch special claims teams to damaged areas, if necessary, to help get people back on the road.
