To Our Valued Massachusetts Agents,

We have been closely monitoring the path and projected strength of Tropical Storm Henri. The National Hurricane Center has issued a Hurricane Watch north of the North Carolina/Virginia border including the southern coasts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

This notice is a reminder that once a Hurricane Watch or Warning is issued for points north of the North Carolina/Virginia border, your ability to bind or increase property coverage limits is suspended.

Binding authority for any Homeowners product, Dwelling Fire, and all Commercial Property coverages is currently suspended throughout the entire state of Massachusetts.

The company will notify you when binding authority is reinstated.

Should you have any additional questions regarding these restrictions, please contact your Underwriter or Business Development Representative.

Please distribute this communication to your agency staff as appropriate. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Sarah Clemens

Senior Vice President of Technical Area
