Many businesses affected by Superstorm Sandy were challenged to quickly recover and resume operations. There were many businesses in areas with limited power, water, and/or transportation, or whose facilities had been compromised by wind or water damage. In addition, they needed to manage employee resource issues, quantify significant property damage and interruption losses, as well as determine whether and/or how to maintain their businesses and cash flow. There were many lessons learned from this event in relation to: 1) properly preparing property insurance claims to expedite and maximize recovery; 2) determining whether business interruption, contingent business interruption, contingent time-element, or other insurance coverage applied; 3) managing operations when employees could not commute to work or required assistance; and 4) maintaining operations when transportation, power, telecommunications, and physical infrastructure was constrained. During this session, attendees will have an opportunity to explore the lessons learned, the impact the event had on risk management practices and risk transfer opportunities, and the processes and procedures that should be considered and implemented to mitigate the impacts of a similar natural or human-caused event in the future.

This session will review key aspects of the ACA and how they will impact employee benefits and workers compensation insurance.
