Our Head of Claims Strategy, Armando Andrade, led a featured workshop session:
Build Back Better: Transforming Post-Catastrophe Recovery into Future Resilience
This session examined whether the property insurance industry can move beyond simply restoring what existed before a loss. In CAT-prone regions, the traditional model of making claimants whole often means rebuilding the same vulnerability that produced the original claim. The panelists explored a different premise: insurance can serve as a vehicle for durable, long-term resilience instead of a mechanism that resets the clock before the next event. The session featured an insurer actively executing this model, alongside perspectives from a multi-state roofing company and a premium roofing manufacturer on the practical cost-benefit case for building back better.
