GEORGE DALE Commissioner of Insurance State Fire Marshal LEE HARRELL Deputy Commissioner of Insurance STATE OF MISSISSIPPI Mississippi Insurance Department 501 N. West Street 1001 Woolfolk Building (39201) Post Office Box 79 Jackson, Mississippi 39205-0079 (601) 359-3569 http://www.doi.state.ms.us # MISSISSIPPI INSURANCE DEPARTMENT ## BULLETIN NO. 2005-10 September 28, 2005 On September 7, 2005, the Mississippi Department of Insurance ("Department") issued Bulletin No. 2005-6, in an effort to address certain insurance coverage issues facing Mississippians impacted by Hurricane Katrina. More specifically, Bulletin 2005-6 stated that insurance adjusters could not summarily determine the cause of damage without inspecting the damaged property, and instructed that all insurers were to fully inspect damaged property prior to making a coverage decision. It has come to the attention of the Department that the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") has instituted procedures whereby catastrophically damaged areas in Mississippi may apply to FEMA for direct federal assistance or reimbursement for debris removal from private property where there is an immediate threat to life, public health, safety or property. Consequently, state, county and municipal governments in catastrophically damaged areas, upon satisfying the guidelines established by FEMA, are receiving reimbursement approval from FEMA to go forward with debris removal on eligible private property. These reimbursement approvals are being granted via letters forwarded directly from the Federal Coordinating Officer/Disaster Recovery Manager at FEMA to the requesting state or local authority. rnments in catastrophically damaged areas, upon satisfying the guidelines established by FEMA, are receiving reimbursement approval from FEMA to go forward with debris removal on eligible private property. These reimbursement approvals are being granted via letters forwarded directly from the Federal Coordinating Officer/Disaster Recovery Manager at FEMA to the requesting state or local authority. In an effort to assist insurers in knowing the approximate timeframes for debris removal in a particular jurisdiction, the Department will be posting copies of the aforementioned FEMA approval letters on its website at www.doi.state.ms.us (click on Hurricane Katrina link). This will allow insurers to contact the state or local authority named in the approval letter for additional information, including specific debris removal dates. It is the Department's hope that this will enable insurers to better coordinate adjusting activities in order to fully comply with the directives of Bulletin No. 2005-6. As of the date of this Bulletin, FEMA has issued to local authorities in Mississippi at least ten (10) reimbursement approval letters for debris removal. These letters are already posted on the Department's website, and future letters will be posted as they are issued by FEMA. Insurers are encouraged to visit the Department's website frequently for postings of additional approval letters.
