Toll Free Numbers Help Tornado Victims

Tornadoes have already caused unbelievable havoc this year with insurance company Allstate suffering $1.4 billion in losses in April alone. It is in these disastrous times that toll free numbers are crucial and invaluable to both businesses and individuals alike.

The Toll Free Advisory Committee recently posted an extensive list of insurers' toll free numbers on their website at SMSGOV.com to help tornado victims. Here you will also find Custom Toll Free as an authorized and approved toll free telephone service provider. However, it is not enough for businesses to list their toll free numbers and for victims to go searching for them after the fact. Businesses share the responsibility of making sure that their customers are prepared and are aware of the importance of having their toll free numbers on hand in case of emergencies. At the same time the public needs to be a aware of how critical it is to have the toll free numbers they need on hand at all times. These important toll free numbers should be stored in your cell phone, perhaps tucked in your wallets or purses and a copy stored in your emergency kits.

What toll free numbers do you need to have in an emergency? They should include all relevant insurance companys' numbers including your homeowners or renters insurance, as well as any additional policies specifically for flood and wind damage. Car insurance is one that many overlook as is business insurance, travel insurance and an attorney’s toll free number to help make sure that you are protected and are able to collect the full claim you deserve. It is also probably prudent to carry the toll free numbers of several contractors as well so that you have someone to call to help you secure and protect your home from further damage. Leaking roofs and broken windows can lead to much more ongoing damage if not taken care of immediately and can jeopardize claims.

Don’t think that just because we are nearing the end of this year’s main tornado season that this is not important for you. Plus, remember that hurricane season follows right behind it. So ask yourself as an individual if you are really prepared and as a business if you are doing everything you can to both limit losses and help your customers by arming them with your toll free numbers.
