Tropical Storm Arlene blew through Alabama last weekend, making the timing ideal for the release this week of a homeowners insurance referral list providing area homeowners with the names and contact numbers of insurance companies, agencies and agents writing property insurance in coastal areas, including Mobile and Baldwin counties. The list was released by the Alabama Department of Insurance in cooperation with the Alabama Independent Insurance Agents.
The referral list was compiled as part of a project of the Alabama Hurricane Insurance Issues Task Force, headed by Insurance Commissioner Walter Bell.
“The department, of course, makes no endorsement of any company or agent that participates in the program,” Bell said in a written statement. “We were, however, delighted to lend our assistance.”
Callers can receive a listing of companies, agencies and agents who are writing property insurance policies, though carriers may not sell coverage in all areas.
Insurance referral information will be available from: Alabama Independent Insurance Agents Association: 866-315-8324, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., weekdays; Baldwin County Association of Realtors: 928-1708, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays; Baldwin County Home Builders Association: 928-9927, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays; Mobile Area Association of Realtors: 479-8654, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays; Home Builders Association of Metro Mobile: 661-6523, 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Bell and Gov. Bob Riley created the Hurricane Insurance Issues Task Force in response to problems that arose after Hurricane Ivan, a strong Category 3 storm that hit Alabama last September.
