ATTENTION STORM VICTIMS
Your insurance cannot be cancelled for the next 30 days.

It includes property and casualty insurance, life insurance, accident and health insurance, disability insurance and all lines of coverage regulated by the Oklahoma Insurance Department.
Some key points of the bulletin are:
- All coverage for storm victims shall continue under all insurance policies for the next 30 days.
- Storms victims can get a copy of their insurance policy free of charge.
- Any rate increases for policies in the affected areas filed on or after the effective date of the bulletin will be deferred.
