Hurricanes, earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, and forest fires—today, the private insurance industry is grappling with the arcane New Generation Mega Disaster concept. This book explores catastrophe insurance in the context of the changing face of both natural and manmade catastrophes, their insurability, and the government’s role in catastrophe insurance or reinsurance.
