When disaster strikes, the Farmers team responds to the challenge. As the
second largest insurer of homes in California, Farmers is acting fast to
fulfill its commitment to our customers and our neighbors affected by the
wildfires currently ravaging Southern California. For regular updates
(including photos and video), check the Dashboard.
Farmers was the first insurance responder on the ground and continues to
have a high profile. More than 300 claims adjusters have been mobilized to
assist victims of the fires, and the Farmers Mobile Claims Center (MCC) bus
is currently parked at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Early this morning,
the crew served a breakfast of pancakes and sausages to over 1,000
displaced people -- Farmers customers and non-customers alike. The bus crew
will also soon be firing up the grill for hotdogs and hamburgers. The
high-tech nature of the bus is also proving useful in other ways, too:
Homeland Security officials have asked us if they can use our satellite
technology for Internet access. The satellite TV on the outside of the MCC
bus is a also a big hit for those who want to keep up with the news -- in
fact, it's the only way many people evacuated to the stadium can catch news
coverage.
The first-on-the-scene Farmers response has also been noted by the Southern
California media. A story in this morning's San Diego Union-Tribune, for
example, (extract below) reported Farmers' immediate response.
