Consumer flood insurance - some thoughts for an emerging consumer catastrophe insurance market
Consumer flood insurance - some thoughts for an emerging consumer catastrophe insurance market
Many geographical areas are subject to catastrophic events such as floods or earthquakes regularly devastating the lives of large numbers of consumers. The availability of insurance in some form or other helps people get their lives back on track after a catastrophic event and protects their property from dilapidation or destruction. Where the risks are widespread and pervasive, there is a social risk in that many people may find themselves homeless or living in a dangerously unstable home. All societies must find a way to address such risks, and ultimately the state is the insurer of last resort. This paper discusses some options available.

Abstract
Many geographical areas are subject to catastrophic events such as floods or earthquakes regularly devastating the lives of large numbers of consumers. The availability of insurance in some form or other helps people get their lives back on track after a catastrophic event and protects their property from dilapidation or destruction. Where the risks are widespread and pervasive, there is a social risk in that many people may find themselves homeless or living in a dangerously unstable home. All societies must find a way to address such risks, and ultimately the state is the insurer of last resort. This paper discusses some options available.
