With Erin becoming the inaugural hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, Sagicor, a provider of insurance, is emphasizing the importance of preparedness not only for policyholders but for everyone in the community.<\/p>\n

In line with its dedication to public safety and awareness, Sagicor issued a press release announcing the launch of the third installment of its well-received \u2018At Home with Sagicor\u2019 video series. This season, titled Weather Watchers, centers on hurricane readiness and features distinguished meteorologist Brian Shields.<\/p>\n

The series aims to educate homeowners and those planning to purchase property on strategies to reduce risks and safeguard assets prior to a storm’s arrival.<\/p>\n

Shields, widely recognized on social media as \u201cMr. Weatherman,\u201d offers key insights in the newly released episode: \u201cEvery storm is different. Some produce tornadoes and waterspouts, while some more in the way of significant flooding. I do look long-term before the season even starts at how much moisture actually may be out there in the atmosphere above our heads. How warm are the water temperatures? Are they running above average? It kind of gives me a feel of whether it will be a little bit more active than other seasons even before the season begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asha Nabbie, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Sagicor Southern Caribbean, expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Mr. Shields for this season.\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Mr. Shields to At Home with Sagicor. His expertise and reputation in meteorology make him the perfect partner for this season\u2019s focus on storm readiness. This is also a timely reminder for our clients, and indeed all homeowners, to ensure their property insurance is current and accurately valued. At Sagicor, we are committed to standing with you before, during, and after any weather event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents are encouraged to visit Sagicor\u2019s social media channels to view the Weather Watchers episodes and to take proactive measures to protect their homes and loved ones during this hurricane season.<\/p>\n

The videos are available on Sagicor’s YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Erin becoming the inaugural hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, Sagicor, a provider of insurance, is emphasizing the importance of preparedness not only for policyholders but for everyone in the community.
