Earthquakes & Insurance
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 6 page research paper that discusses earthquake insurance. Earthquake insurance is of vital importance to those sections of the country that are prone to this catastrophic occurrence. It is insurance that provides the necessary financial "safety net" that, in the event of a catastrophic quake, helps the affected areas to rebuild their homes, businesses and economies. This report details how some homeowners and business do not have insurance and why, and also discusses possible alternative positions to the traditional insurance approach, which aid insurers in retaining solvency and offering earthquake insurance on a broader basis. The writer argues in favor of policy proposals that encourage insurers to build large reserves that can be used in the event of catastrophic events as being a logical step in societal preparedness. This research includes an executive summary and concludes with a summary. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
