POINTE COUPEE PARISH, La. (WAFB) – Representatives from the Louisiana Department of Insurance will host a pop-up event in Pointe Coupee Parish to provide storm-related assistance.
The event will take place between noon and 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 23, at the Pointe Coupee Parish Government offices on Main Street in New Roads.
Residents in Pointe Coupee Parish and surrounding areas will be able to get answers to questions about storm damage claims. Representatives from the Louisiana Department of Insurance will also help people with issues related to insurance and flooded homes or vehicles.
Anyone who can’t attend the pop-up event can reach out to their insurance agent or the Louisiana Department of Insurance by calling 800-259-5300.
Most Louisiana residents have flood insurance through the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program. However, many people may also have private flood insurance, state officials said. They added that flood insurance typically covers damage caused when water enters someone’s home from the ground up because of heavy rain, storm surge or flooding from a waterway.
The Louisiana Department of Insurance has put together a comprehensive document containing answers to questions that storm victims may have. Click here for more information.
