The Atlantic hurricane season being around the corner, the Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. is offering retailers a free Hurricane Preparedness Guide.

The guide can be downloaded from the Jewelers Mutual’s official Website, JewelersMutual.com. The handbook is a concise and an easy-to-understand manual which will help the retail jewelers with a complete business-continuity plan in the event of different types of natural disasters.

It is out of the personal experience that made the Jewelers Mutual come up with this idea. They say that its staff members and adjusters were on hand last year in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav and Ike as soon as entry was permitted to quickly handle claims and questions.

"Our claims team was in Louisiana within hours of Hurricane Gustav's landfall, personally visiting 125 of our policyholders. Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas were hit the hardest, but our policyholders were well prepared for this storm because they took precautions to heart, and many had disaster plans in place." Jewelers Mutual Claim Manager Don Elliott said in a media release.

Jewelers Mutual is a well know name and the largest specialty insurer for jewelry and jewelers in the United States and Canada. The staff at JM claims section assists the policyholders in filing claims and provides recommendations to protect the property from addition damages.
