Prepare with FMIT Ian Showed: It Takes Only One Hurricane
T
he one constant with hurricanes is their unpredictability. All it takes is one storm to cause tremendous damage, which Hurricane Ian demonstrated. In the aftermath of the hurricane, the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (FMIT) supported its member cities that were impacted by the storm. The FMIT TurnKey Recovery℠ Program Manager, SynergyNDS, provides numerous resources to ensure their members are protected from disasters. Kurt Waterman, Director of Field Operations at SynergyNDS, said, “FMIT makes a promise to its members to be there before, during and after a storm, and Synergy helps fulfill that promise.” FMIT produced a video in which members share their experiences during Hurricane Ian and discuss disaster recovery with the FMIT. “FMIT was extremely helpful during the storm,” said Mayor John Gunter, City of Cape Coral. “They were professionals. They knew exactly what they needed to do so we could concentrate on search and rescue and the recovery aspects of our city.” You can view the video on YouTube at youtu.be/3PZ79dx-jYY.
