GEICO CAT teams have been on duty helping Southern California policyholders in Los Angeles and now in San Diego since the wildfires erupted. Yesterday a special GEICO team joined other service providers at San Diego's Qualcomm stadium to offer assistance.

GEICO got the word yesterday to many policyholders in the San Diego region by email on how to contact the company and report a claim if they're affected by the wildfires that struck with fury.

"Even in the middle of this catastrophe, our teams of GEICO associates are doing a great job serving our customers. The safety of our associates and customers is our number one priority."
