Colorado Flooding Roadmap to Recovery Insurance Workshop Oct. 24

Free educational workshop to help residents facing flood damage and insurance issues

Boulder County, Colo. – A free educational workshop on flood damage and insurance will be held in Boulder on Thursday, Oct. 24th.

Boulder County is a sponsor of the Colorado Flooding Roadmap to Recovery Workshop from 6–7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24 at First Presbyterian Church, 1820 15th St., Boulder.

The free workshop will focus on rules and rights related to the National Flood Insurance Program and privately issued insurance policies that – unlike home insurance – cover the risk of flood. Residents whose homes were impacted by the recent flooding and who have flood insurance are encouraged to attend this workshop. Residents whose homes were impacted but who have only home insurance (not flood insurance) are welcome to attend. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A portion of the program and get answers from an expert on insurance consumer advocacy and flood claims.

The program will cover:

• Flood insurance basics and insurance claim tips
• Information on National Flood Insurance Program policies and proof of loss requirements
• FEMA grants and other disaster assistance programs

The Roadmap to Recovery program is co-sponsored by Boulder County, Foothills United Way, and United Policyholders, a non-profit consumer organization assisting disaster survivors for more than 20 years.
