ORLANDO, Fla., March 31 –

ORLANDO, Fla., March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read pledged today to “Dine in the Dark” on June 1st as he became the first to join the “Great Hurricane Blowout” (Blowout), a new campaign launched by the nonprofits Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, Inc.– FLASH® and Plan!t Now.  The Blowout, sponsored by Kohler and State Farm, is a first of its kind, layered social media campaign that will promote hurricane preparedness through the Internet and social media channels like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and YouTube.  

With a focus on fun and learning and a host of experts like Ed Del Grande aka “Ed the Plumber”, the campaign moves participants through six phases of safety and preparedness leading up to the start of hurricane season on June 1st. Participants will create personalized plans that answer important questions about evacuation, supply kits, home hardening, personal safety and more.  Once individuals and families have their plans ready, they are encouraged to affiliate with a nonprofit and get trained to provide volunteer support in the event a hurricane hits their community.

The campaign rallying point is a pledge to join up and Dine in the Dark.  Dine in Dark encourages individuals, families and the new crop of volunteers to turn off the lights on June 1st and prepare a meal by cooking up celebrity “power-free” recipes.  This will allow participants to test drive the newly created disaster plans while keeping hurricane preparedness top-of-mind.  

“We all know hurricane preparedness is important, but so many coastal residents have never experienced a hurricane.  Many others deny that one would ever strike at all.  The Great Hurricane Blowout offers ways to make hurricane preparedness an activity the whole family can embrace,” said Director Bill Read.

“We built the Great Hurricane Blowout because we are convinced that making safety fun and educational is our best chance to spark widespread preparation activity,” said FLASH President/CEO Leslie Chapman-Henderson.   “By bringing celebrities to volunteer with the campaign, our new partners at Plan!t Now are guaranteeing that it will be fun.”

According to Plan!t Now CEO Donna Lee, “Plan!t Now has worked for years to educate those at risk for hurricanes and urge them to prepare themselves, their families and their homes.  Working with FLASH has allowed us to broaden our reach and be a part of this truly innovative campaign.”

The campaign website, www.greathurricaneblowout.org, displays an online counter of pledges, a count down clock for the start of the 2010 hurricane season and urges individuals to “Join the Blowout and Breathe Easy” today.

Sure, Ellen. Well, you don’t actually have to worry because these days, there are a lot of excellent deals to choose in getting a car insurance for women drivers? But it would still make sense to shop around and find the best rates available in the market. The good thing is: premiums in car insurance for women drivers tend to be lower than it is for men up to 45 years of age and thereafter they level off. The rationale why car insurance for women drivers is cheaper than men’s is simply because premiums are based on a wide range of statistics showing that women are much safer drivers than men. Women drivers are apt to drive slowly, carefully and shorter distances than men. Although both men and women have accidents, women are less likely to be serious. Hence, the overall claims experience of women is better than those of their male counterparts.

To get better deals and make premiums as cheap as possible in getting car insurance for women drivers, you need to think of owning a car that has a small engine or is in a low insurance group. Another is, avoid modifications such as alloy wheels, extra spoilers or racing exhausts but try to look out for additional security features like locks and immobilizers since these will help minimize your premiums. If you don’t really drive frequently, try to ask for policies that offer discounts for lower mileages.
Another way to get affordable car insurance for women drivers is through insurance agents who can guide you through the entire insurance process that ensures the best coverage of the insurance. They can also help in lowering rates by increasing the deductibles or by lowering the comprehensive or collision coverage which are not really practical with the increasing age of your car.

The economic crunch is really making a lot of people tighten their belts. Most would want to save on almost everything, including getting cheap auto insurance rates. Do not worry. There are certain ways that can guarantee you with a lower rates for your auto insurance needs. The suggestions here may or may not be applicable to you. Just choose and improvise, if you can.

First, cheap auto insurance rates are associated with cars that are generally considered low-risk. That means, these cars are not often involved in accidents. These cars too are not expensive. Yes, an expensive car gets an expensive insurance. If you want cheap auto insurance rates, go for a car that is inexpensive, yet, highly efficient. A Honda or a Toyota will be good candidates in this category. If you are driving a pick-up, consider exchanging that with a sedan type because the smaller cars have slower engines and less prone to accidents.

One way of raising your insurance rate is by including a lot of names on your policy. If it is possible, limit it to yourself. The more names appear on the policy, the higher is the rate. Drive your teenage son or daughter to school or let them catch the school bus just to be able to keep the policy to yourself. This need not be permanent. You can explain to them that since the situation calls for it, they would have to cooperate and be a good sport. Once things get better, you can reinstate their names so that they can go back to driving your car.

Finally, try to keep out of accidents, however minor. This is a sure way to get cheap auto insurance rates. A stellar driving performance will make your insurer happy, which translates to substantial discounts to your auto insurance premium.

What is Medical payment coverage for with my auto insurance and do I need it?

Hank

Plano, TX.

Hank,

 Medical payments (called MedPay) coverage pays for the medical expenses of you and your passengers after an accident. This includes accidents while you’re driving your car, while you’re driving someone else’s car (with their permission), or injuries to you or your family members while you’re pedestrians. MedPay will pay no matter who caused the accident, although if someone else is at fault your insurer may subrogate against them, meaning it will seek damages from the other party.

Great Question.
