"Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas have been hit hard by these tornadoes and we are making contact with our customers as quickly as we can," said John Lucido, Farmers state executive director for the state of Oklahoma.
"We will bring in as many resources as needed to help our customers file claims quickly and easily. We are also bringing in one of our Mobile Claims Center Buses (MCC) to the Oklahoma City area," Lucido added. "This bus is 46 feet and is equipped with supplies to offer help to our customers and non-customers alike. The bus carries water, food, and satellite cell phones and laptops for use by victims who have lost power in their homes or have been evacuated. It is also equipped with state-of-the art communications satellite equipment to track the storms and generators to help in any emergency," Lucido said.
