Berger Singerman Hosts Its First Ever Weather Week
To raise awareness of Florida’s unique weather patterns and how businesses and property owners should best prepare for them.
February 23, 2021
Berger Singerman, Florida’s business law firm, launches its first ever ‘Weather Week’ to educate business and property owners across the state in how to best prepare for Florida’s unpredictable and often dangerous weather. During this one-week series, being held from March 1-5, 2021 the firm will provide numerous resources, including interviews, articles, blog and a webinar with critical tips and considerations from professionals in various industries including insurance, meteorological, and the environmental regulatory landscape.
As a newly appointed Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, Berger Singerman is formally recognized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as an organization committed to sharing preparedness messaging in outreach to the public and serving as examples themselves by implementing resilience best practices. In conjunction with NOAA Berger Singerman wants everyone, from communities across the country, businesses, and the public at large to be ready, responsive, and resilient to extreme weather, water, and climate events.
It is crucial now more than ever for businesses and property owners to be equipped with the necessary tools to ensure they are prepared for Florida’s unique weather patterns. Because of this, multiple attorneys across the firm’s practice teams will be authoring articles on these topics to tackle the complex problems faced by business owners in the state. These issues include the nuances of insurance policies’ wind created opening provisions and hurricane deductibles as well as insurance claims arising from lightning, hail and power outages.
Additionally, various interviews with meteorological experts from the National Weather Service and Florida International University Extreme Events Institute will focus on unique weather issues impacting the state.
Two of the firm’s insurance practice leaders, Gina Clausen Lozier and former Florida Bar President, Michael J. Higer, are recognized in the prestigious legal publication Chambers USA for their insurance work on behalf of policyholders. Additionally, Clausen Lozier currently chairs the Windstorm Insurance Network (WIND) conference committee and is significantly involved in the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters and the National Association of Public Adjusters.
