Global climate change, earthquakes, floods, windstorms, ice storms – The frequency of national disasters and their ramifications on our global environment are increasing steadily and relentlessly.
The insurance industry has tackled these issues on several fronts including the creation of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR).
More than ever these natural disasters are causing grave and overwhelming concern for the Insurance Industry, their customers and Government. These issues have profound affect for business and government and their impact on IT are challenging and intense.
Selected Areas of Concern:

Do we or can we really understand the true underlying risks involved?
-
As insurers-how do we adjust to this new phenomenon?
-
Can we provide an economical IT platform flexible enough to adapt to this changed business climate?
-
Are we confident that the Industries DR and BCP programs are working and in place? What about the Industry customers?
-
Are the Industry reserves adequate? Is a Disaster Fund needed?
-
How do we insure that governments at all levels fulfill their role, as they are essential to the solution?
-
How can the industry and IT in particular educate the general population as to desirable measures to reduce personal risk and damage exposure?
