Closing the Gap: Earthquake Insurance in the Central U.S.

Numerous communities in states within the central and southeast U.S. are susceptible to damaging earthquakes, and, as with other risks, insurance will be an important factor in helping individuals and businesses recover following a seismic event. Insurance agents play a vital role in educating consumers on these risks and in helping them navigate options to become financially prepared. 

You are invited to join the Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium (CUSEC), National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI), and the University of Missouri-Columbia Disaster and Community Crisis Center for a *FREE* webinar on how insurance producers in earthquake prone areas can access earthquake hazard information, consumer insurance research findings, and other resources to help consumers make informed decisions about the risks they face. Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

•    Summarize latest earthquake hazard information;
•    Recognize and review data on earthquake insurance research and surveys; and
•    Utilize resources to assist agents in educating consumers about disaster preparation earthquake insurance products.

*NOTE: Attendees can check with their state Department of Insurance regarding continuing education (CE) credits for this event.

About the National Association of Insurance Commissioners

As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
