10 Years Later, What Can We Learn From Hurricane Katrina? Essential Preparedness Lessons For The Next Big Natural Disaster

10 Years Later, What Can We Learn From Hurricane Katrina? Essential Preparedness Lessons For The Next Big Natural Disaster

I.I.I. Stresses Importance of Planning For both Physical and Financial Survival

NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ten years after the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina is being remembered for its devastating toll on residents in six coastal states. Insured losses from Hurricane Katrina totaled over $41 billion and underscored the importance of recognizing the risk of and planning for natural disasters, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150428/212128LOGO

The following four key lessons from Hurricane Katrina can help consumers build a preparedness mindset that will stand as a defense against severe weather threats.

Consider Purchasing a Flood Insurance Policy
A key lesson learned from Katrina was that neither a home nor a renters insurance policy covers flood damage. Yet, according to a 2014 I.I.I. poll, only 13 percent of American homeowners have a flood insurance policy. This percentage has remained the same since 2009. Since 1968, flood coverage has been available from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is also sold by some private insurers. Talk to your insurance professional to make sure that you have enough insurance to replace your personal possessions and rebuild your home.
The maximum amount of NFIP coverage available to homeowners is $250,000 for the home and $100,000 for the home’s contents. For higher coverage levels, ask about excess flood insurance from private insurance companies.
Keep an Up-to-Date Home Inventory
An inventory of personal possessions makes it simpler to purchase the right amount of coverage, as well as making the claims filing process easier and more accurate. It can also be helpful when filing for financial assistance after a disaster. The I.I.I. has information on how to conduct a home inventory, as well as a free Know Your Stuff® home inventory tool.
Have an Evacuation Plan
In the event of a disaster, there may be only hours to evacuate—in order for an evacuation to go smoothly when a storm is imminent, it is important to plan and practice in advance. Have emergency supplies, including medicines, extra clothing, comfort items and important papers gathered and ready to go. Knowing where to evacuate to and the planned route is equally important. And be sure to take into account any special accommodations that need to be made for elderly relatives, a family member with special needs or pets. The I.I.I. has information on disaster planning with pets as well as the free Know Your Plan app.
Take Steps to Protect Property
Strengthening the roof, windows, doors and protecting all openings are important steps in safeguarding both the structure of a house and its occupants. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety has practical tips for reducing property damage to help homeowners prepare for and recover from a storm.

Use the I.I.I.’s hurricane insurance checklist for a productive disaster preparedness conversation with your insurance professional.

On Thursday, August 27, I.I.I. subject matter experts will be available to conduct television and radio interviews via satellite from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, ET, on lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina. Reporters interested in booking an interview may contact Susan Higgins at [email protected] or 212-736-2727.

The I.I.I. has a full library of educational videos on its You Tube Channel. Information about I.I.I. mobile apps can be found here.

THE I.I.I. IS A NONPROFIT, COMMUNICATIONS ORGANIZATION SUPPORTED BY THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.

Iranian Nuclear Agreement & Latino Evangelical Support of Israel Key Topics of Hispanic-Israel Gathering

Iranian Nuclear Agreement & Latino Evangelical Support of Israel Key Topics of Hispanic-Israel Gathering

NHCLC’s Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition Summit to be held August 30-31

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference’s (NHCLC) Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition (HILC) in conjunction with the Jewish Federation of Broward County and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee will hold its historic International Summit for Israel in the Fort Lauderdale area, August 30-31. The summit will focus on the Iranian nuclear agreement, Latino evangelical support of Israel, and the rise of Hezbollah and Iranian influence in Latin America, among others. More than 2,000 attendees are expected.

“Never before has the Pro-Israel community had such a compelling reason to unite and stand together,” said president of HILC Pastor Mario Bramnick. “Discussions regarding the dangers of the Iranian Nuclear Deal will be front and center at the Summit, just days before Congress will vote on the approval or disapproval of the deal in September.

During the public session on Sunday, August 30 at 6:30 p.m. EDT, Joe Negron, Florida senate president, will be discussing his landmark bill that cuts off the state’s contracting with businesses that participate in discriminatory boycotts against Israel.

Sunday’s session will also feature speakers uniting in support of Israel, including Ron Dermer, Israeli Ambassador to the United States; Carlos Lopez-Cantera, Lieutenant Governor of Florida; Bramnick, president of HILC; David Ruben, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel; Dr. Alberto Delgado and president of the Pastors Association of Greater Miami. Florida members from both parties of Congress including U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen; U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings; U.S. Rep Lois Frankel; U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch and U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson will also address the session.

“The Iran nuclear agreement will be a disaster for the national security of America and Israel,” Bramnick continued. “Congress must reject the deal. Iran is openly committed to the destruction of America and Israel, and we simply cannot afford to risk our future on a bad agreement that paves their way to a nuclear Iran.”

Monday, August 31, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT community leaders will join for the HILC Leaders Mobilization meeting during which topics of the Iranian deal, evangelical support of Israel, Florida anti-BDS legislation, spreading Israel’s message in Latin America countries, Jewish-Christian relations, Israel youth activation, and the rise of Hezbollah and Iranian influence in Latin America will be discussed by special guest speakers.

“Southern Florida is home to millions of supporters of the relationship between the U.S. and Israel,” said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, NHCLC President. “The purpose of the International Summit for Israel is to give voice to the community and open a discussion about the future of Israel at this critical moment in history.”

The free, public event on Sunday will be held at Nova Southeastern University Arena located at 3301 College Avenue in Davie, Florida. Monday’s leadership meeting will be located at Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El at 8200 Peters Road, Plantation, Florida. For more information or to register, visit www.floridaunitedforisrael.com.

HILC formally launched in April 2015 as a subsidiary of NHCLC and is positioned to be the world’s largest, most influential Pro-Israel Latino entity. HILC’s mission is to engage, empower, and equip the Latino Christian evangelical community in full support of Israel and the Jewish community around the world.

NHCLC/CONELA is the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization. It serves as a representative voice for the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in over 40,000 U.S. churches and another 500,000 congregations spread throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora.

Manny Flores Joins Arnstein & Lehr LLP

CHICAGO, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Former Acting Secretary at the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), Manuel (Manny) Flores has joined the national law firm of Arnstein & Lehr LLP as a partner in Chicago. He will be a member of the Banks and Financial Institutions Practice Group.

Mr. Flores was recognized for changing the IDFPR’s culture during his four years there, increasing transparency, engaging with consumers and industry leaders, streamlining and modernizing operations and raising the agency’s profile nationally. Previously, Mr. Flores spent one year as the Acting Chairman for the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and served as 1^st Ward Alderman on the Chicago City Council for nearly two terms.

“We are pleased to have Manny join us at Arnstein & Lehr LLP,” said Michael Gesas, Managing Partner of Arnstein & Lehr LLP’s Chicago office. “He brings a wealth of experience to our banking practice as well as adds significant depth to the capabilities of our office.”

With the CSBS, Flores and his IDFPR team strengthened consumer protection standards for mortgage servicers in the wake of the financial crisis, and were party to the $25 billion settlement with five of the biggest mortgage lenders following the collapse of the housing market.

“I’m so proud of what we were able to accomplish at the IDFPR,” Flores says. “I was there during a critical time for the financial services sector and it was essential to help re-establish public confidence in the system. Now that I am moving on in my professional career, I’m thrilled to be joining Arnstein & Lehr, a Chicago institution with a rich history and great reputation, built on the trust they’ve earned through long relationships with clients.

Sherwin-Williams Launches Breakthrough System to Simplify Color Selection

Sherwin-Williams Launches Breakthrough System to Simplify Color Selection

ColorSnap^® integrates online and offline tools, and includes new in-store display

CLEVELAND, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sherwin-Williams introduces its latest innovation: ColorSnap^®, the company’s most comprehensive, integrated color selection system ever offered. Designed to help consumers and professionals make confident and efficient paint color selections, ColorSnap includes a first-of-its-kind, in-store display that makes color selection fast and easy, in addition to enhanced online and off-line tools, and new colors.

“With the ColorSnap system, we’ve created a completely new way to navigate color. Whether in their neighborhood Sherwin-Williams store, at home or on the go, ColorSnap provides a solution to easily explore and find color any way the consumer chooses,” said Jackie Jordan, director, color marketing, Sherwin-Williams.

ColorSnap starts rolling out this month and will be available in all 4,000 Sherwin-Williams stores across the U.S. and Canada by the end of January 2016.

Easy, intuitive and fast
Customers can explore color in an entirely new way with the interactive, in-store ColorSnap^®Studio display, which groups color by family, such as red, yellow or blue, then displays color by saturation level from bright to neutral with a new category just for whites. Each color family is set on one of 24 rotating panels. By turning a panel, customers can see a curated selection of nearly 50 paint chips of specific colors within that color family — making the selection process simple and fun.

The display, which will be the centerpiece of every Sherwin-Williams store, also features new 2-by-3-inch take-home color chips, rather than strips, so customers can get a bigger, better idea of how colors will look in their space.

Sherwin-Williams conducted extensive testing to ensure the new ColorSnap system would improve the overall customer experience. During in-store testing, on average, customers found their paint color of choice in 60 percent less time than with the previous display.

Sherwin-Williams collaborated with IDEO, an award-winning global design and innovation consultancy, on the in-store display, which uses a human-centered, design approach to help simplify the color-selection experience for both DIYers and professionals.

“We were honored to work with Sherwin-Williams to reimagine the color selection journey through the lens of the company’s many diverse customers. After a thoughtful and iterative design process, we’re excited to see ColorSnap come to life,” said Michelle Ha Tucker, portfolio director, IDEO. As part of the new display, a central work area will be added for customers to arrange and review their color choices, explore Sherwin-Williams color tools and interact with store experts. Customers will also be able to browse and take home nine new color guides and 12 postcards that are designed to inspire, educate and simplify color selection.

In addition to ColorSnap Studio, the redesigned in-store color display, the all-new system includes a refreshed and integrated online set of tools including ColorSnap^®Visualizer for iPhone, iPad, Android and online (at sherwinwilliams.com). The tools allow users to explore color before ever picking up a paintbrush. With the mobile app, customers can scan the new 2-by-3 inch color chip with their iPhone or Android smart phone for instant access to room scenes featuring that color, options for coordinating colors, and more. ColorSnap Visualizer also inspires by matching a color in a photo to a specific Sherwin-Williams color, allowing users to virtually paint a room or simply browse details on the full range of Sherwin-Williams colors. The iPad app also features inspirational room scenes that showcase expert color picks.

The ColorSnap system also seamlessly integrates with Sherwin-Williams industry-leading Sher-Color^™ Advanced Color Matching Technology, which calibrates color formulas specifically for every product and sheen, ensuring outstanding color accuracy and consistency when ordering a Sherwin-Williams color or matching a color to an accessory or to a color from another paint brand. Sher-Color^™ is available in-store for fast, precise and custom color matching.

Faster and easier for design professionals
Professionals will also find color selection easier and faster, thanks to the variety of new resources available to them, whether in the office or on the job site. The

ColorSnap^®Design Pro Suite includes an updated and expanded suite of tools for professionals (including a new ergonomic fan deck, portable and desktop kits and more), along with the ColorSnap Visualizer online tools. The ColorSnap Design Pro Suite creates a powerful color selection system that can differentiate a design practice. It will be available in early 2016.
