Title | Review of international flood insurance and recovery mechanisms: Implications for New Zealand and the resilience of older people - research summary |
Authors | Priest, S. |
Abstract | Widely available insurance within a well-functioning and solvent market has the potential to not only assist the recovery from hazard events; but also positively influence mitigation behaviour. However, the characteristics of current flood insurance models and their effectiveness vary considerably between countries. How flood insurance provision is structured, what losses are covered and excluded and how it is purchased all impact upon the effectiveness of the scheme for recovering from flood losses and ultimately how burden sharing is split between the at-risk individual and society. This study reviews international insurance provision (and compensation schemes) for adverse natural events. The key findings from this work are provided in this research summary which accompanies the full review document. |
