The Insurance Commission of The Bahamas (ICB), in partnership with the Bahamas Insurance Association (BIA), today hosted a Hurricane Preparedness Webinar to help Bahamians better protect their property and financial wellbeing ahead of the hurricane season. The session was hosted by Ms. Daneisha Clarke, Senior Communications Analyst at the Insurance Commission of The Bahamas, who facilitated an engaging and interactive discussion.
Representing the BIA were Mrs. Ruthnell Bethell, Claims Manager at CG Atlantic General Insurance,
and Mr. Christopher Day, Managing Director and Co-Owner of Technical Adjusters Bahamas Limited.
Together, they shared practical insights centered on understanding your risk, knowing your insurance
coverage, being prepared before and after a storm, and navigating the claims process giving
participants a clearer understanding of what to expect in the event of a loss.
A key focus of the webinar was the importance of reading and understanding insurance policies and
conducting annual reviews in collaboration with insurance brokers to ensure adequate protection.
Presenters highlighted concerns around underinsurance and the often-overlooked need for contents
insurance, both of which are critical in reducing financial vulnerability after a disaster.
The session encouraged active participation, with attendees asking questions and seeking clarity on
coverage and claims, reinforcing the need for continued education and open dialogue around
insurance. This webinar served as an important conversation starter, encouraging Bahamians to revisit
their policies and make informed decisions about their coverage.
The Insurance Commission of The Bahamas reaffirmed its commitment to protecting policyholders
and promoting a strong, transparent, and resilient insurance industry, while continuing to empower
consumers through education and outreach initiatives. To learn more and stay informed, follow the
