keep track. >> one is the status of the claim and getting them out there and closing the claims taking care of the policy holders if we see areas we're not doing it, we can zoom in and go and see what we need to do. >> if you saw bread you say we need to get to the area. >> this would be bigger with more insurance companies represented. >> how long would i have to get a check. >> that's the thing about the setup. we have checks on hand so we look up your policy and additional living expenses which is displaced or you need someone to take care of some damages up front, we have an adjustor on site. >> and the claims were filed rehated to hermine and in our region 3500. the insurance commissioner for the state said it looks leak the
