Corporate Solutions Business Interruption and Global Challenges Interrelated Global Business Systems: Even small businesses in rural areas are increasingly part of a supply and customer chain that can stretch across international borders with multiple, dependant layers. These systems are heavily dependent on new technology and easy access to transportation to rapidly changing markets. These systems are more vulnerable than previously imagined to CAT perils.

Corporate Solutions Contingent Business Income Insurability for damage to 3rd parties on which the insured is dependant is complicated by new Lean Production Models: – “Just In Time” Production – Outsourcing – Reduced Suppliers – Eliminating Stock Third World Suppliers Contingent Extra Expense – Designed to cover increased costs following CAT event – Avoids Contingent Business IIAA CAT Webinar Property & Business Interruption Visit the Big “I” Risk Management Website at www.iiaba.net/eohappens.

Corporate Solutions Restricted Access While business interruption damages due to restricted access by official order is generally covered, there is also need for similar losses where there are physical impediments to access but no government order restricting the same. Clear limitation on access will be the challenge rather than showing a direct causal connection to the damages. Natural Catastrophe Driven - Avalanches, Landslides, Earthquakes.
