Approximately 110 of the 537 members of the New Jersey  Municipal Excess Joint Insurance Fund (“NJ MEL”) were  affected by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012. Hear one pool’s experience of dealing with a catastrophic claim  when its clear limits will be exceeded, receiving FEMA  dollars is complicated, and members are more focused  on rebuilding communities than documenting losses  for insurance claims. Attendees will leave this session  with lessons learned and ideas for how to equip their  pool to deal with a catastrophic claim.
