CIPR Issues Report on Extreme Weather and Property Insurance
The increasing number of extreme and catastrophic weather events and their impact on insurance makes studying climate risks and resiliency a critical regulatory function. In order to better understand the connections homeowners make between insurance coverage and weather events, 不良研究所官方鈥檚 Center for Insurance Policy Research (CIPR) conducted a consumer survey.
Nearly three quarters of respondents said the most significant threats facing their homes today are weather-related, and 68% are aware of things they can do to protect their properties to reduce risk. The top weather-related concerns are water damage from rain or snow melt, followed closely by wind damage from tornados and hurricanes.
In order to educate and engage consumers about reducing their exposures and ways to help make communities more resilient, the 不良研究所官方 created a multi-media consumer campaign focusing on how to be better prepared for weather-related risks utilizing a three-step approach:
- #KnowYourRisks
- #CoverYourRisks
- #ReduceYourRisks
With 41% of consumers surveyed saying recent weather events could impact their risk of future losses to their homes, CIPR went on to segment homeowners by their climate risk perceptions and geographic region to offer additional guidance. Read the full report.
