Managing Flood Risks Panel Discussion

A Co-sponsored event created and hosted by IBAO and the Insurance Institute of Ontario.

More and more we see the increased occurrences of flood events and its impacts to residents and businesses.  With recent climate change reports suggesting Canada is warming at twice the rate of most other countries, almost three times warmer than the Arctic, there are increased chances of extreme weather events, such as flooding.  Brokers need to understand the reality of this risk, and how to communicate this to their clients.
Join us for a live discussion on all things flood, covering basement/sewer backup and overland risks.

This live webinar is held in two parts; first, a keynote address from a leading expert on the realities of flood today, followed by a panel of experts who will dive into essential details brokers need to know, such as understanding the policy, risk mitigation, and guiding your clients through the process.

Learning Objectives:
• List flood trends and risks affecting Ontario residents and businesses in the last decade
• Describe the consumer experience as a result of a flood
• Describe basic approaches to personal flood preparedness in order to better support your clients
• Advise clients on flood risk mitigation and available resources
• Explain how a flood policy functions and protects the insured
