Farmers Insurance and Zurich Financial Services Display Mobile Catastrophe Claims Buses and Vehicles at Zurich Classic

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- Farmers Insurance Group of Companies and Zurich Financial Services displayed their new state-of-the-art Mobile Catastrophe Claims buses (MCCs), and 10 of their fleet of 35 Customer Care Vehicles (CCVs) in and around the New Orleans TPC golf course during the Zurich Classic, designed and built based on lessons learned from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"The mobile units enable the Farmers Catastrophe Corps to respond immediately and effectively and are the center-point for handling claims and servicing customers," explained Farmers CEO, Paul N. Hopkins. "The buses and customer care vehicles have the most state-of-the-art equipment available anywhere in the United States."

The Mobile Claims buses are 45 feet long and are built on a superior diesel platform. They are the only diesel powered buses in the insurance industry with built-in data satellite on top of the platform to service customers. They are also equipped with various advanced technology, such as built-in GPS navigation, security/safety system, noise-reduction generator, and in-motion satellite TV, which allows Command Center personnel to track inclement weather and urgent news reports when all other forms of communication are unavailable. Stationed at Farmers National Catastrophe Claims Center in Olathe, Kansas, they can be dispatched in a moments notice to any catastrophe in the contiguous United States.

Each of the 35 Customer Care Team Vehicles consists of a Chevrolet Suburban or a GMC Yukon XL and a trailer, which is transformed into a claims-command center upon arriving at a disaster. The CCV trailers will be placed in Farmers 29 core states and available to deploy to any disaster in any of the contiguous United States within hours of a catastrophe to help Farmers customers with claims and non-customers with emergency supplies where needed.

When not being used as a claims center, the SUV and trailer can be used as a booth at community events to promote Farmers, its programs and corporate sponsors such as m.i.l.k. (Managing Information on Lost Kids) and the March of Dimes.

At the scene of a catastrophe, Farmers customers will be notified via the media and their agents where the Mobile Claims Center and Customer Care Vehicles will be located. Also, Farmers has a national claims number 1-800-HELPPOINT that can always be called for assistance following a catastrophe.
