The Greatest Tragedy of our Generation\"The<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard that tragedy defines us.\u00a0 I disagree with that; it is how we as a group rise and address adversity that defines us. \u00a0An excellent example is my\u00a0grandfather\u2019s generation.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been referred to as the Greatest Generation, a fitting accolade to the group that defended our freedom and won WW II.<\/p>\n

What is the great tragedy of our generation?\u00a0 Is it global warming?\u00a0 It could be the rise of terrorism!\u00a0 While I can\u2019t answer the question, I do know that school shootings and other active shooter related incidents have to be somewhere in the mix.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tragedy is often the precursor of innovation.\u00a0<\/strong> It certainly was during WW II.\u00a0 It also drives changes and the creation of new products in the insurance industry.\u00a0 The insurance sector exists because individuals, businesses and other entities have a need to transfer risks to another party.\u00a0 Increasing active shooter incidents in recent years and the corresponding legal actions have created demand for products that can provide financial protection.<\/p>\n

The insurance industry is actively working to develop products that will protect businesses, schools and other government entities from gaps in current insurance policies.\u00a0 Professional liability policies were not designed to protect against active shooter risk or anything similar to that.<\/p>\n

So what can be done and how do we do it?\u00a0 Products have been created and will continue to improve that will offer financial protection to entities that have been accused of failing to adequately prepare.\u00a0 But there is more.<\/p>\n

Insurance companies seldom get the respect that they deserve; however, behind the scenes they are making a difference.\u00a0 The insurance industry is much more than a financial risk transfer vehicle, insurance companies are the leaders in making our world a safer place to leave.\u00a0 While most of us will never understand the significance, the insurance industry will lead America\u2019s efforts as we deal with the risk of loss of life, mental trauma, and financial loss associated with active shooter incidents.<\/p>\n

How?\u00a0 Who understands risk as well as the insurance industry?\u00a0 The better we understand risk exposures, the better we can prepare.\u00a0 The insurance \"No!industry will over time and after numerous assessments develop standards that when deployed will ward off many would be active shooters.\u00a0 They work for insurance companies will also work to reduce the after effects and of course provide financial relief.<\/p>\n

The insurance industry is working to make our world safer.\u00a0 If you are interested in learning more about the insurance industries role in managing active shooter risk you are more than welcome to contact us:<\/p>\n
