Announcement Regarding Japan Tsunami
Updated March 15th, 2011
The earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, with all their immediate and medium-term consequences, are an incommensurable tragedy. On behalf of all at Allianz Global Assistance, we want to express our most sincere condolences to the people of Japan at this tragic time.
Our first concern is for the human casualties. There is still very little information about the overall dimension of the catastrophe at this point. We know from our offices in Tokyo that our employees have not been injured. They immediately adapted their organization to continue working and helping people.
Our activities are coordinated by our International coordination team that is in contact with our operating entities and with our Japanese business unit. We will pursue our monitoring efforts as the situation evolves to make sure that all necessary means will be set in place to continue helping our customers in need.
Allianz Global Assistanc encourages the families of its customers to call our Canadian call center for assistance in locating their loved ones who may be travelling in the region. Company representatives can be reached at 800-321-9998 (or 519-742-2800 if calling collect) anytime day or night.
