Following the ongoing wildfires in South Georgia, Commissioner King issued two directives, aimed to prevent insurance companies from cancelling policies due to nonpayment in affected counties and reminding them of their responsibility to respond promptly to claims.

GA Insurance & Safety Fire Commissioner's Office retweeted
Apr 22
My team and I are working closely with @GaTrees and federal, state, and local partners, to do all we can to combat the wildfires in South Georgia and provide assistance to affected communities. To that end, I have declared a State of Emergency for the 91 most-affected counties to mobilize all possible response efforts.
Our prayers are with the families who have endured losses in these fires, as well as with the first responders working around the clock.

If you have special or expensive items like jewelry, art, cameras, computers, or musical instruments, your standard homeowner's or renter's policy may not over the full cost to replace a damaged or lost item. Talk to an agent to learn how you can fully protect these items today!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Deputy Insurance Commissioner Steve Manders. Steve exemplified steady leadership and always brought joy and laughter to those around him. Please pray for his family during this difficult time.

Does my renter's insurance coverage my roommate's stuff? It depends.
Renter's insurance usually protects property belonging to people named on the policy. If a roommate moves in but is not on your policy, their belongings are likely unprotected. Double check your policy today!
