Insurers Had "Generally Inept" Katrina Response

The PIRG-backed Americans for Insurance Reform has a new report (release) attacking the insurance industry for its poor Hurricane Katrina response:

The case studies contained in The Insurance Industry’s Troubling Response To Hurricane Katrina, were gleaned from hundreds of calls that came into AIR’s Katrina Insurance toll-free hotline, established on September 12, 2005. This unprecedented hotline allowed AIR to monitor complaints, refer them to government officials where appropriate, and keep records of hurricane-related insurance problems.
