Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following the series of storms, floods and cyclones that affected many parts of Queensland and some parts of Victoria in late 2010 and early 2011, the Assistant Treasurer, the Hon Bill Shorten MP, announced on 4 March 2011 the Natural Disaster Insurance Review (the Review) ... It was the absence of flood insurance for many policyholders, particularly in Brisbane and Ipswich, that was the primary stimulus for the Review ... The fact that all home insurance policies cover storm damage including related water damage but many do not cover flood damage, which distinction is seen as arcane and artificial by many, led to a community backlash against insurers during 2011 and considerable distress, financial loss and disillusionment for many insured homeowners. Hence the theme of the Review, arising from the flood coverage problem and the full Terms of Reference of the Review, is the availability and affordability of insurance offered by the private insurance market, with particular reference to flood but also including other natural disasters."--Executive Summary.

Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods are the most common and destructive natural disaster in the United States. The National Flood Insurance Program, which FEMA administers, has struggled financially to both pay for flood losses and keep rates affordable. To address these and other challenges, Congress has passed legislation including the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 (HFIAA). HFIAA included provisions for FEMA to conduct a study and submit a report that assesses and recommends options, methods, and strategies for making CBFI available through NFIP. FEMA presented the study and related report to Congress in March 2016. HFIAA also includes a provision for GAO to review the FEMA report, which is to include the study and submit a related report to Congress. To review the study and report FEMA submitted to Congress, GAO analyzed the FEMA study's objectives, methodology, and findings, and evaluated the FEMA report's conclusions. GAO analyzed the appropriateness of the objectives, the reasonableness of the methodology, and the extent to which the conclusions were supported by the findings. GAO also evaluated relevant study findings against public policy goals for federal involvement in catastrophe insurance previously identified by GAO, and interviewed FEMA and NAS officials.

Book Synopsis The Cure for Catastrophe by : Robert Muir-Wood
Download or read book The Cure for Catastrophe written by Robert Muir-Wood and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can't stop natural disasters but we can stop them being disastrous. One of the world's foremost risk experts tells us how. Year after year, floods wreck people's homes and livelihoods, earthquakes tear communities apart, and tornadoes uproot whole towns. Natural disasters cause destruction and despair. But does it have to be this way? In The Cure for Catastrophe, global risk expert Robert Muir-Wood argues that our natural disasters are in fact human ones: We build in the wrong places and in the wrong way, putting brick buildings in earthquake country, timber ones in fire zones, and coastal cities in the paths of hurricanes. We then blindly trust our flood walls and disaster preparations, and when they fail, catastrophes become even more deadly. No society is immune to the twin dangers of complacency and heedless development. Recognizing how disasters are manufactured gives us the power to act. From the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 to Hurricane Katrina, The Cure for Catastrophe recounts the ingenious ways in which people have fought back against disaster. Muir-Wood shows the power and promise of new predictive technologies, and envisions a future where information and action come together to end the pain and destruction wrought by natural catastrophes. The decisions we make now can save millions of lives in the future. Buzzing with political plots, newfound technologies, and stories of surprising resilience, The Cure for Catastrophe will revolutionize the way we conceive of catastrophes: though natural disasters are inevitable, the death and destruction are optional. As we brace ourselves for deadlier cataclysms, the cure for catastrophe is in our hands.

Book excerpt: "Natural disasters often result in large-scale expenditure by state and territory (State) governments, imposing financial burdens on States' budgets. To alleviate the burden on the States from eligible disasters assistance from the Commonwealth government was formalised in 1974 under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements Determination. Due to a number of significant natural disasters across a number of States in 2011, the Determination was amended to incorporate requirements for States to submit independent assessments of their insurance arrangements, resulting in the release of the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements Determination 2011 (Determination)."--Executive summary.
Book Synopsis Natural Disaster Insurance for Sovereigns: Issues, Challenges and Optimality by : Aliona Cebotari
Download or read book Natural Disaster Insurance for Sovereigns: Issues, Challenges and Optimality written by Aliona Cebotari and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural disasters are a source of economic risks in many countries, especially in smaller and lower-income states, and ex-ante preparedness is needed to manage the risks. The paper discusses sovereign experience with disaster insurance as a key instrument to mitigate the risks; proposes ways to judge the adequacy of insurance; and considers ways to enhance its use by vulnerable countries. The paper especially aims to inform policy decisions on disaster insurance. Through simulations of natural disasters and various insurance options, we find that sovereign decisions on optimal risk transfer involve balancing trade-offs between growth and debt, based on government risk preferences and country risk exposure. The choice of optimal insurance for smaller countries turns out to be more constrained by cost considerations due to their higher exposure, likely resulting in underinsurance; donor grants could help them achieve a more optimal protection. We also find that optimal insurance packages are those that are least costly relative to expected payouts (i.e. have the lowest insurance multiple), which are also the packages that insure less severe (more frequent) disasters.

Download or read book Fifty Years of U.S. Natural Disaster Insurance Policy written by Kendra Marcoux and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high and increasing cost of natural disasters around the world motivates a growing body of literature on the role of natural disaster insurance in adapting to climate change. This chapter reviews current challenges in both public and private natural disaster insurance markets in the United States and how the nature of these challenges has changed over the past fifty years. We discuss how the infrequent, spatially correlated, and extreme events that distinguish these markets complicate both the supply of and demand for natural disaster insurance, with spillovers to related markets such as real estate. We also highlight open questions that would be helpful to answer to inform analysis of currently proposed natural disaster insurance reforms.
