A week on from Cyclone Debbie, Suncorp's response continues to gather speed in north Queensland with more than 1900 repair jobs allocated and 670 make-safe works completed.
Speaking in Mackay, Suncorp Executive General Manager Property & Specialty Claims Matt Pearson said Suncorp was managing a range of different claims from the disaster.
"We've seen structural and roof damage, inundation and wind driven rain through roofs and windows," Mr Pearson said.
"Suncorp already has a large contingent of tradespeople on the ground and this will continue to increase.
"It's only been a week, but already Suncorp is leading a hive of activity in the region with Customer Response Teams assisting with claims, assessors visiting impacted homes, and builders and repairers picking up their tools and getting to work.
"We want to see this escalate as quickly as possible, so that is why our network is expanding through the worst hit areas such as Bowen, Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Proserpine and Mackay," Mr Pearson said.
Suncorp has so far received more than 8000 claims from residents in north and south east Queensland, and northern NSW.
Suncorp continues to encourage customers who were impacted to lodge their claims either over the phone (13 25 24) or face-to-face at Customer Response Team sites.
