EC Global Insurance, the insurance arm of the ECFH Group, took the important initiative of preparing homeowners for the hurricane season by hosting a special seminar for property owners in July. The key objective was to educate participants on the benefits of proper insurance coverage, particularly during this period. EC Global Insurance wants to start a national conversation which would not only assist the insurance industry, but also help clients avoid some of the life-changing Hurricane Tomas incidents. The seminar took place at the National Insurance Center’s Conference Facility and attracted over 70 participants.

According to EC Global’s CEO, Mr. Leathon Khan, quite often, policyholders are not aware of the extent of their coverage and the various clauses within the policies. He pointed out that emerging out of the Hurricane Tomas experience, both insurers and the insured learnt valuable and in some cases, rather costly lessons about adequate insurance coverage. One of the most common problems is a misunderstanding of what a client’s policy actually covers, as opposed to what they think it does.

The seminar on protecting property from natural disasters coincides with the hurricane season, which officially started June 1st and ends on November 30th. Homeowners were grateful for the information provided by EC Global Insurance which was joined by its sister subsidiary, Bank of Saint Lucia and corporate partner, Caribbean Metals Limited, who also presented valuable tips on protecting property from hurricanes.
