More varied and severe weather—greater storm related damage and insurance claims. [Pg.52]

In both the roles, insurance companies deal with the management of risk activities. In fact, climate change risk is managed by the insurers through the risks they accept from clients, given that climate change causes an increase in intensity and spreading the distribution of extreme weather events with resultant effects on property claims that could be catastrophic.5... [Pg.33]

In this way, the insurance industry provides a coverage for climate change consequences because climate experts predict changes in the intensity and the distribution of extreme weather events and of the resulting risk of catastrophic property claims. [Pg.33]

First, climate change is connected to global weather patterns that may increase the potential for losses so large. As more severe weather becomes more common and overall variability of conditions increases, there is a threat for the solvency of insurance companies. [Pg.33]

Insurance coverage can be also connected with the liability system. But, for what concerns the consequences of climate change, such as impacts of property damage from extreme weather events, the assignment of liability is a very complex topic. See Reference [12]. [Pg.33]

Climate change will affect, and in some cases is already affecting, most major types of insurance products. Insurers will feel the impact of climate change on property and casualty insurance, where the insurer bears the risk of a loss suffered directly by the policy holder. These property and casualty claims include not only damage to insured property as a direct result of weather but also claims for business interruptions and other consequences of weather-induced events. Also, health and life insurers are going to face increasing costs. [Pg.34]

Denmark. The government statistical department publishes annually statistics on population, weather, surface area, employment, housing, agriculture, industry (numbers employed in different branches), output of principal products (virtually no chemicals), fuel and power supplies, transport, consumption of food and staple commodities, cost of living, wholesale and retail prices, public finance, social insurance, and education. This publication (11) is in French as well as Danish. [Pg.59]

Pretreatment samples taken prior to aldicarb application insured that the soil was free of aldicarb residues. Daily rainfall and pan evaporation for this site were obtained from a nearby weather station. Soil cores were obtained by bucket auger to a depth of 3 meters, separated into increments of 0-0.3 m, 0.3-0.6 m, 0.6-1.2 m, 1.2-1.8 m, 1.8-2.4 m, and 2.4-3.0 m. The plot was divided into four subplots, and four samples were taken per subplot and composited at each date of observation, resulting in a total of four samples per date per core depth. These four samples were... [Pg.345]

A FIRM provides the user a number of important details relative to the potential for flooding in a given area, due to weather related events. Special Hazard Flood Areas (SHFA), the flood insurance zones, 100-year flood elevations (base flood elevations), 500-year flood elevations, and areas designated as a regulatory floodway are indicated on a FIRM. [Pg.59]

The conventional mode of surface transportation of fluids before the advent of CCP was by sea, rail, or road transport. These modes are still in use for petrol, diesel, LPG, and several hydrocarbons however, wherever bulk transportation on a continuous basis is required between two fixed locations, use of CCP is the most economical solution. The modes of transport other than CCP have the following limitations nonavailability of sufficient roads, rail tracks, and port-harbor facilities to take up the traffic load procedures and control involved in the transport operation (permits/licenses/OctroiAoll/ regional transport office, etc.) and logistics such as manpower requirement, maintenance, fuel cost, availability, weather and climate, pollution generated, safety, insurance, and security. [Pg.186]

Risk management seeks to identify and reduce all types of losses either completely or to an acceptable level at the lowest possible cost. Some organizations have risk managers, who analyze potential losses, such as financial losses and fire, weather, operations, security, legal, and other losses. They often purchase insurance to transfer potential losses. They work for banks, insurance companies, hospitals, health care facilities, and other businesses. They may also work with safety and health specialists on preventive strategies and approaches. [Pg.18]
