Understanding the Cost of Recovery: Lessons from a Category 4 Hurricane
The damages from Hurricane Ian remind us all too well of the potential costs associated with a major Category 4 Hurricane. How can you predict the cost of recovery and why does it seem to cost more than estimated property values?

RIMS “State of Risk” Report
Nearly 300 C-level risk, safety, compliance, and insurance professionals from more than 20 industries were surveyed for this report. Respondents confirmed a clear takeaway that emerged from the results of this year’s survey — risk programs are under increasing pressure to evolve. The report highlights how self-identified “Leaders” are much better able to integrate risk-related functions into a unified approach while “Laggards” are struggling with silos, fewer resources, and a lack of prioritization of risk programs within the enterprise. The report provides an analysis of the impact that increasingly complex, interconnected risks are having on functions across organizations. The report contains practical discussions on: Rethinking the insurance process in a highly dynamic risk environment; Ways “Laggards” can rejoin “Leaders” even with a lack of institutional support; How to unlock the hidden power in “pre-analyzed data.” You will learn must-read insights for risk and safety professionals and find needed context around a highly volatile year.
