Washington–The coalition formed to promote a national catastrophe insurance program held an event here today to present lawmakers and survey findings that it hopes will help make its drive successful.
ProtectingAmerica.org, which has the backing of Allstate and State Farm, unveiled a survey it said had found that nearly half of Americans believe that they will be affected by a natural catastrophe, and more than two thirds of Americans believe the government is not prepared for such an emergency.
“The catastrophes of the last hurricane season were a wake-up call to America, and this survey is a wake-up call to Congress,” said Federal Emergency Management Agency director James Lee Witt, a co-chairman of the group.
