CAMP: Helping Canadians After Disaster

Canadians who are suddenly forced to cope with extreme weather events such as windstorms, wildfires, torrential rains as well as other disasters will now have quick access to on-site insurance-related information, thanks to a national program launched in 2010 by IBC.

IBC deploys its Community Assistance Mobile Pavilion (CAMP) to disaster sites that have significant insured damage, to help Canadians with their insurance questions.

CAMP is set up at emergency shelters and community centres where individuals are gathered and will be staffed by trained insurance industry personnel. In cases where a physical deployment isn’t possible, IBC will work with local officials and insurers to disseminate information.

For more information, view a video about CAMP or contact one of IBC’s Consumer Information Centres.
