"Mega catastrophes are a threat not just to insurers, but to economies and societies as a whole. When it comes to catastrophes we are in a new era, and in need of new solutions," said Ed Liddy at the International Insurance Society Annual Conference. He urged that America take action to strengthen our first response capability, improve recovery processes, rebuild smarter and stronger homes and buildings and educate citizens about the dangers of catastrophes.
