Progressive's Catastrophe Services team
Members of our Catastrophe Services team are specially trained claims representatives who work in areas hit by severe weather. The team — an extension of Progressive's claims service — responds to weather-related emergencies, such as hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, and floods, affecting many customers.
The team works with local Progressive people to determine the extent of damage and the number of customers affected. Representatives then implement a plan to help customers recover quickly.

Our dedicated Catastrophe Services team may be dispatched to affected areas as soon as it's safe for them — in many cases, within 24 hours of the severe weather event.
