Flood Adjusting
A two (2) day course is designed for the adjuster
with 4+ year’s experience.
Floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. and can occur almost anywhere. Deployment to flood areas is not typical for catastrophe adjusters; therefore, the adjuster will tend to struggle with accurate claim production or they are reluctant to accept the deployment assignment at all. This two (2) day course will provide necessary guidelines helpful to alleviate the concerns and perception of writing a flood claim. Our training consists of policy interpretation, proper inspection techniques, agency protocols and how to write an accurate flood file using Xactimate 25.4.
THIS IS NOT AN NFIP CERTIFICATION – ADJUSTERS MUST OBTAIN NFIP CERTIFICATION BEFORE FLOOD FILES WILL BE ASSIGNED

Texas Windstorm Insurance Association Certification (TWIA)
When Hurricane Celia struck the Texas coast on August 3, 1970, many insurance companies ceased to write business in this region. To protect consumers, the state stepped in and in 1971 created the Texas Catastrophe Property Insurance Association (now called the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association).
Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is a “pool” of all property and casualty (P&C) insurance companies authorized to write coverage in Texas. TWIA provides basic wind and hail insurance coverage for Gulf Coast property owners who might otherwise be left uninsured.
In order to work losses for TWIA, an adjuster must be licensed and working through an approved adjusting firm, as well as attend a yearly TWIA certification class. This training will also provide four (4) Continuing Education credits, through TWIA, toward renewal of your Texas Adjuster’s license.
