Nevada Commissioner Declares Catastrophe in Response to Winter Storm

January 5, 2008

Commissioner Declares Catastrophe in Response to Winter Storm

(Carson City) - Due to the damages caused by the rain, heavy snow and high winds in the projected series of storms in northern Nevada this weekend, Commissioner of Insurance Alice A. Molasky-Arman has given temporary approval for non-resident adjusters to adjust claims in the northern Nevada area for damage caused by the storms. This will assist insurance companies in expediting claims and assessing the amount of damages. Under ordinary circumstances, only resident adjusters are permitted to handle claims. Nevada law, however, allows the commissioner to make exceptions during catastrophes. In addition, her agency has contacted major insurers in the area to make certain enough adjusting teams are available, which will increase the speed of benefit payments for property damage.  (source)

Past Bulletins

FEMA Inspections for Professionals

Dear Fellow Adjusters and Friends, As a licensed adjuster I have been working in the past as a cat adjuster and also for FEMA’s Contractors PaRR of Dewberry Davis and Alltech of Parsons Brinckerhoff. Both of these companies are guilty of horrendous acts and violations of American Law. . That is about to change as I have dedicated the past two years trying to stopping their abuses of the American workers, disaster victims and taxpayers. Attorneys have been secured and complaints filed which you may view at www.FEMASbest.com. I believe that every FEMA Inspector should have proper training and at least an Insurance Adjusters Licence as part of his qualifications to do the job as an FEMA Inspector. With this as a goal I continue on my struggle with having Professional People as yourself have an opportunity to also do FEMA work and get paid as a professional for it. I have always had a deep respect for Insurance Adjusters and the People of CADO and hope to open up new opportunities in the work field for all of you. Chad Beckwith Smith

Calif insurance commissioner declares insurance emergency

California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner declared an "insurance emergency" on Wednesday because of the Southern California wildfires. The declaration temporarily removes the ban on out-of-state claims adjusters lacking California licenses. Poizner said that lifting the ban will help insurance companies better deal with the expected crunch of fire claims. He estimated that more than $1 billion in property damage has already occurred.

NCDOI Bulletin 7-B-04 -Procedure for Catastrophic Adjusters

Summary from the Bulletin;

This bulletin replaces Bulletin 07-B-03 and outlines the procedures your company will need to follow if a catastrophic event were to occur in North Carolina.     Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 58-33-70(e):  “The Commissioner may permit an experienced adjuster who regularly adjusts in another state and who is licensed in the other state (if the state requires a license), to act as an adjuster in this State without a North Carolina license only for an insurance company authorized to do business in this State, for emergency adjustment work, for a period to be determined by the Commissioner, done for an employer who is an adjuster licensed by this State or who is a regular employer of one or more adjusters in this State; provided that the employer shall furnish to the Commissioner a notice in writing immediately upon the beginning of any such emergency insurance adjustment work.” Based on this authority, the North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) will permit individuals who satisfy all of these requirements (including licensure in another state if that state requires a license) to adjust claims in North Carolina for a specified period of time without obtaining a North Carolina adjusters license. Such permission will only be in effect and valid so long as comp,
