10 Replies and 4244 Views Interested in becoming a catastrophe adjuster  4244  10 Started by  Charlie D I'm an experienced (15years) local, independent property adjuster. I'm interested in making the switch to catastrophe adjuster, and would prefer to work for a large insurance company, rather than being independent. I think so, anyway. I have no idea how to get started, or who to apply with, and I'm just looking for some general suggestions. Thanks to anybody that can help!
