When the Lights Go Out: 5 Things Insurance Executives Should Do Instead of Panicking
As an insurance executive, you know that power outages can happen at any time, leaving your clients vulnerable and in need of assistance. But what can you do to prepare for these situations and help your clients get back on their feet? Here are five things you should do instead of panicking:
-
Review Your Policies: Take a look at your policies and make sure they cover power outages. If they don’t, consider adding coverage for business interruption, loss of income, and extra expenses incurred during an outage.
-
Communicate with Your Clients: Keep your clients informed about the situation and let them know what steps they can take to minimize their losses. Provide them with resources and information on how to prepare for power outages and what to do if they experience one.
-
Consider Parametric Insurance: Parametric insurance is a type of insurance that pays out when a specific event occurs, such as a power outage. It can be a valuable tool for businesses that rely on electricity to operate, as it provides quick and efficient coverage without the need for lengthy claims processes.
-
Prepare for the Future: Power outages are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change and aging infrastructure. Prepare for the future by investing in renewable energy sources, backup generators, and other measures that can help mitigate the impact of power outages.
