Legislative Update - July 13, 2017

Thursday, July 13, 2017

Dear neighbors,

 

With the recent storms, I wanted to pass along this information that might be helpful if you experienced storm damage.

 

The Department of Commerce’s Consumer Services Center (CSC) is available to help consumers with questions, concerns, or complaints following a damaging storm, flood, or tornado. The CSC help consumers understand their rights, work with their insurer to settle a claim, and help Minnesotans make informed insurance decisions after a flood or storm damages their home, car, or property.

 

The CSC can be reached by phone at (651) 539-1600 or toll-free at (800) 657-3602 or by email atconsumer.protection@state.mn.us.

 

I have also included a link to the Commerce Department’s Disaster Information Center, which can be easily shared passed onto friends or neighbors:http://mn.gov/commerce/consumers/your-home/protect/dic/.
