In this episode, Norma and Tara discuss the possible ramifications of extreme weather conditions on insurance policies. They also provide insight on what the insurance industry could do to help those who suffered huge losses during the recent barrage of hurricanes that hit the U.S. this year as well as what our politicians should look into when it comes to natural disaster recovery.

“The insurance industry as a whole is still struggling to communicate better to legislatures and politicians.”

Norma Essary
