“By taking the time to learn and ask questions, I uncovered an additional $130,000 across two of my endorsements,” said Joice Castillo, a Lahaina resident who attended one of the workshop sessions. Castillo emphasized that “this is crucial information that adjusters often won’t volunteer unless you specifically ask or attend informative seminars like this one. If you’ve been impacted by the fire, I urge you to take advantage of this free event. You could be leaving a significant amount of money on the table without even realizing it.”

“After a disaster, understanding your insurance policy can be the key to unlocking the support you deserve. These workshops empower survivors with the knowledge to navigate claims, protect their rights, and take control of their recovery,” said Sieny Corpuz, the Director of Community Operations. Corpuz added, “Kaibigan ng Lahaina is here to ensure that our community is not just recovering but is equipped to thrive every step of the way.”

Previous workshop sessions covered information including understanding and maximizing insurance coverage, navigating personal property claims, navigating inventory and shopping for insurance.
