FMIT Member-Focused Preparedness & Recovery Information

When disaster strikes your insured property, are you prepared to respond according to new Insurance & FEMA requirements as necessary to maximize funding and minimize overall financial exposure? Waiting until after a loss is too late to understand policy coverage provisions, eligible FEMA Public Assistance funding
and claims reporting.

FMIT Members are encouraged to attend one of the 2012 FMIT Disaster Preparedness Symposiums, hosted by FMIT & Synergy Companies (Register). All symposiums are scheduled throughout Florida and are free to FMIT Members and designed to help municipalities more effectively prepare for and recover from property losses.

FMIT Members will learn firsthand exactly what steps are necessary to take full advantage of their policy and the many value-added solutions that they receive as FMIT Members.

What You'll Learn

Economic challenges and staffing adjustments have forced Members to do more with less. Learn about programs and services provided by FMIT to add capacity to departmental response and recovery initiatives.  Attendees can expect engaging presentations highlighting ways to support  overall recovery efforts and help protect Members and their citizens. Answers to the following questions will be covered:

  • How does FMIT TurnKey Recovery pay Member’s upfront recovery costs?
  • What solutions help Members identify property damage & report losses?
  • How do Members utilize FLC Public Assistance CloseOut Team?
  • What is simpliCity and how does it prioritize recovery of critical assets?
  • How to add capacity for Traffic Control, Security and Public Assistance
  • What is the "Named Storm Deductible" & how does it affect exposure?
  • How does FMIT respond to disasters and adjust property losses?
  • What are FEMA, State & FMIT doing to improve on Lessons Learned?
  • How can Members use mobile applications to support recovery operations?
  • What programs does FMIT offer for increasing safety and risk control?
  • more...
