New Brunswick tornado claimants advised to call for more info

New Brunswickers with questions about insurance claims following the July 20 tornado that caused extensive damage, particularly in the Grand Lake region, are advised to call for more information. Amanda Dean, vice president, Atlantic Region for the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), encourages residents with insurance questions to contact the bureau’s Atlantic Consumer Information Centre. “It is absolutely critical to know how you can protect your family and your home, and what your insurance policy covers in the event of an emergency,” Dean emphasizes in a statement. IBC reports that the tornado left a path of uprooted trees, damaged buildings, and displaced vehicles from Whites Cove and Cambridge Narrows to Juniper, which are popular cottage and agricultural areas in the province.
