We've been glued to the news this week watching the second high-impact hurricane in as many weeks unfold, leaving behind destruction that is still being exposed. As people begin sorting out what is left behind from these events, they are turning for help to the claims professionals who are the cornerstone of the CLM Community. We see you and care about each of you, especially as you face the tasks ahead of you now. ?? We encourage our membership to take a moment and read the following post from Heather Blevins CPCU, ITP, M. Ed. Her view of repetitive exposure to traumatic stress takes on fresh meaning today, as do her suggestions for supporting everyone working in the field and on the phones in the aftermath of both #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton...and really every day. Thanks, Heather. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. ?? #Insurance #ClaimsManagement #LitigationManagement #InsuranceDefense #CLMCommunity

We -- like all of our claims management members -- are keeping an eye on the latest #hurricane to approach the US. #HurricaneMilton rapidly tripled in strength and became a Category 5 hurricane with 180 mph winds in less than 36 hours, AccuWeather states. However, “even though [the storm] is expected to weaken before it makes landfall, it will double in size—meaning its disastrous impacts will be felt over a much larger area.” Catch updates here as the storm progresses and the impact begins to be estimated: https://bit.ly/3NjfYn1 ?? We're sending earnest prayers for safety to our team members, CLM community, and all who live in the path of this hurricane. ?? #Insurance #ClaimsManagement #LitigationManagement #CLMMagazine
