IBC deploys CAMP to Thunder Bay

Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) has deployed its Community Assistance Mobile Pavillion (CAMP) to Thunder Bay after the city was swamped by 91 mm of rain in just 18 hours.

CAMP is a national program that provides disaster victims with onsite, quick-response, insurance-related information.

“We advise residents that they should contact their insurance representative to determine whether or not they have coverage,” notes Ralph Palumbo, vice president of Ontario for IBC. “Overland flooding is not covered by insurance. Sewer back-up often is, but that depends on your coverage.”
