We are experts in this field,” she said. “We are no stranger to Hurricanes and the devastation they cause. Over the past 42 years, NAGICO has experienced some of the most severe storms affecting the Caribbean, e.g. Hurricane Hugo, Luis, Marilyn, Lenny, Irma, Maria, Dorian, and we have paid Billions of US dollars in claim settlements to our policyholders, contributing to their restoration and the redevelopment of countries. For Hurricanes Irma and Maria alone, we paid nearly 1 billion US dollars. We are indigenous to the Caribbean, we are proud of this, and we are not going anywhere.
