North Carolina’s insurance commissioner announced his department will again offer webinars, starting this month, on the intricacies of flood insurance, with continuing education credit for insurance agents, adjusters, engineers, real estate agents and others.
The WebEx sessions are free of charge and will delve into the National Flood Insurance Program as well as state-based flood programs. The need for more flood coverage in the state became painfully obvious after Hurricane Helene and other storms “devastated thousands of residents who didn’t have flood insurance because they relied on their homeowners’ policy, which does not cover damage from rising water,” Commissioner Mike Causey said in a statement.
The conferences will feature flood insurance specialist Charlotte Hicks, of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety/Emergency Management, and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials who will discuss the modernization of flood maps and other topics.
- Registration for the first two sessions, May 28 and July 16, is already full.
- Thursday, Sept. 10, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.. To register, click here by Sept. 6
- Thursday, Oct. 15, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To register, click here by Oct. 11.
