Protecting against severe weather environmental risks: Are you covered?

Learn how severe weather events can impact your environmental risk profile and what you can do to be better protected.

Environmental impact may not be top of mind when thinking about the results of a severe weather event, especially if you are in an area not typically prone to storms. But as weather patterns change, it is important to understand the environmental risks that events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and electrical storms can bring — and if you do experience a weather related loss, whether your business is properly protected.

In our recent webcast, Protecting against severe weather environmental risks: Are you covered?, our team of environmental weather risk specialists provided insights into this growing risk, including:

  • Trends in severe weather events
  • Environmental losses than can be triggered by severe weather
  • How insurance coverages respond: what’s covered and what isn’t
  • Addressing claims and best practices to protect your business from unrecoverable losses
