FREE FLOOD INSURANCE WORKSHOPS FOR LENDERS AND REALTORS

The Unity Group Insurance will be hosting two free workshops on Flood Insurance Essentials on October 22^nd (4-5pm) and October 23^rd (8-9am).  Both sessions will be held at 110 Unity Street in Bellingham.  The workshops will be taught by a Certified Floodplain Manager who is flying in from Arizona specifically for these courses. 

Talking points include: The Definition of Flood, Flood Zone Determination, Mandatory Purchase Agreements, and Coverage Requirements.  Attendees are encouraged to submit questions prior to the event as the presenter would like to address as many inquires as possible in the allotted time. 

“We feel it’s necessary to provide as much education as possible to local lenders and realtors on the National Flood Insurance Program," said Amelia Mendenhall, Personal Insurance Agent. "By providing information to other local professionals to better educate buyers in Whatcom County, smarter purchases will be made and everyone is at less financial risk the event of a flood. Increased flood insurance coverage in flood-prone areas can reduce tax dollars spent on future flood-related disasters. This information really helps everyone in the community."
