ARMY OF ADJUSTERS It now has about 5,000 independent adjusters under contract via 44 adjusting firms. These adjusters are required to make Citizens' work their first priority, and their work will be closely monitored by 68 supervisors inside Citizens. All the adjusters have to go through a training session covering the company's adjusting practices and Florida's building codes. Last month, the company ran a hurricane drill, mobilizing adjusters and staffers to see how its procedures would work. (source:miamiherald.com)

"In 2002, the Florida Legislature passed a law that combined the Florida Residential Property and Casualty Joint Underwriting Association (FRPCJUA) and the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association (FWUA). This resulted in the creation of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens), which more efficiently and effectively provides insurance to, and serves the needs of, homeowners in high-risk areas and others who cannot find coverage in the open, private insurance market.
