 
Snow, snow, and more snow! If you were impacted by recent severe weather, visit our website for resources on what to do after the storm. Topics include:
- Quick tips if you have damage after a storm
- Tips for when you need to file an insurance claim
- Weather-related snow damage
- Videos and more!
If you want to make sure you are prepared for the next storm, visit our website for pre-disaster resources.
As a reminder, the Maryland Insurance Administration urges any Maryland resident affected by the severe weather to contact us with any insurance-related issues or questions. Call us at 1-800-492-6116 (toll free) or 1-800-735-2258 (TTY) or visit our website.
While the Maryland Insurance Administration does not sell insurance and we cannot recommend a particular policy or insurance company, we do want to help you learn what types of coverages are available. Additionally, we are here to assist you if you have a complaint involving an insurer, an insurance producer, public adjuster or adviser.
Make sure you are winter-weather prepared and have your emergency kit before you head out! We have compiled resources on our website to help you.
  Did you miss our recent virtual event? No worries! We're hosting the same event in February on the 3rd (English) or 5th (Spanish). We invite you to bring your questions and join the Maryland Health Connection and the Maryland Insurance Administration for a presentation on How to Use your Health Coverage. Get your questions answered, such as:
- What is a deductible?
- What is a co-pay?
- Do I need to stay in-network when I see a doctor?
- What if I have a problem with my health insurance?
Looking for other types of events? The Maryland Insurance Administration is eager to help you! MIA representatives are out and about in your communities -- we're also virtual. To find an event, visit our website.
