With a record rainstorm behind us, many Granite Staters are mopping up, drying off and assessing the damage and are coming to discover that their insurance doesn’t cover what they thought it did. We’ll look at what private insurance can and can’t do, how federal aid may play into the equation and how flood victims will start to put the pieces back together again. Laura's guests are Roger Sevigny, Commissioner for the New Hampshire Insurance Department, Carolyn Gorman, Vice-President of the Washington Media Office for the Insurance Information Institute and Matt Saxton, a Selectman in Alstead. We'll also hear from Marty Bahamonde, Public Affairs Representative for the New England Region of FEMA and Mike Liebl, a State Farm Agent who works in Keene, New Hampshire.
