Hurricane Gustav made landfall Monday morning near Cocodrie, Louisiana as a major hurricane. This storm left thousands in the Gulf Coast region without power and continued to pound the southern states with wind and rain. Our top concern is for the safety of those affected by this disaster.

State Farm agents and claims professionals from the coastal region and the company's catastrophe team are on the ground and responding to our customers' needs following the hurricane.

State Farm's response includes:

  • Catastrophe Claim Representatives ready to handle claims in impacted; independent adjusters were contacted and are also prepared.
  • Mobile Catastrophe vehicles have been deployed and are setting up at various Gulf Coast locations.
  • State Farm call centers are already fielding thousands of calls from customers.
