The NFIP and Post-Sandy ClaimsPBS Frontline
PBS Frontline segment, “The Business of Disaster,” aired May 24, 2016 (my taping was on Feb. 3 in Washington, DC).
A truncated audio version ran the same day on NPR
Focus was on the role private insurance carriers play in the flood insurance claims process, alleging that insurers are underpaying claims in order to make a greater profit
While it was a contentious interview, we were able to get many of the industry’s key messages across
I also “live tweeted” throughout the show with facts about flood insurance—including video testimony from FEMA’s Brad Kiesermanasserting that “no evidence of fraud” was found by FEMA when examining how WYO companies settled insurance claims for Sandy-related damages
The program so far has not generated additional interest with either national or local media in locations directly affected by Sandy
13
Unclaimed Life Insurance PoliciesCBS 60 Minutes
CBS’s 60 Minutes segment, “Not Paid,” on how insurers handle unclaimed life insurance policies aired Sunday, April 17
Industry was represented by Dr. Steven Weisbart, CLU, the I.I.I.’s chief economist and a life insurance subject matter expert
Steve worked for TIAA-CREF for 25 years before coming to I.I.I.
After a fairly contentious interview, the I.I.I. was prepared to respond to any negative media attention following the airing, but did not received a single media call on the issue.

Political Skepticism About the ‘Gig’ Economy
Many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing a website ... even driving their own car. This on demand or so called 'gig' economy is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation, but it's also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future.

Regulatory Issues Abound as Well, With Implications for Insurance Coverages
In California, Uber Driver Is Employee,
Not Contractor: AgencyBy Sarah McBride and Dan Levine
A driver for Uber is an employee, not a contractor, according to a California ruling that eventually could push up costs for the smartphone-based ride hailing service and hurt the closely watched start-up's valuation.
The California Labor Commissioner's decision could ripple through the burgeoning industry of providing services via smartphones, with potential implications for other “crowdsourced” services such as Uber rival Lyft, chore service TaskRabbit, and cleaning service Homejoy.

likely difficult to pass
Interest Rates May trend higher with larger deficits;
Shift from monetary policy to fiscal focus
(tax cuts, government spending)
Status quo at the Fed; Net impact on

Preparing for Hurricane Season
Confronting Complacency
Jeanne Salvatore, Chief Communications Officer
84
2016 Atlantic Hurricane SeasonI.I.I. Communications Plan
* NOAA’s National Coastal Population Reprt
A Demographic Perfect Storm Goal
Massive influx of new coastal residents who have never experienced a major storm.
Combined with an existing population that has been lulled into complacency by the lack of a hurricane over the last several years.
Resulting in large numbers of coastal residents from Maine to Texas who are unprepared for the 2016 hurricane season.
Educate coastal residents about what they need to do now to financially protect themselves with the right amount and type of insurance.
85
2016 Hurricane Season
Objectives
Reinforce to the media and public policymakers that the I.I.I. is the “go to” place for insurance information, expert advice, facts and stats, and economic analysis.
Empower consumers and small business owners with educational material so that they understand all of their insurance options, including flood insurance.
Assure consumers and others that the insurance industry has the financial strength to pay claims after a disaster.
Position the insurance industry as “economic first responders.”
86
2016 Hurricane Season
Target Audiences Condo/co-op owners

New Coastal Residents
Renters

Small Business Owners
87
2016 Hurricane Season
Strategic Partnerships
Convinced FEMA and NOAA to include “Insurance” as a crucial element in preparing for hurricanes and in their news conferences and educational initiatives. Including:
Providing talking points and I.I.I. resources to FEMA’s Craig Fugate, NOAA’s Rick Knabb and NFIP’s Roy Wright.
A seat on FEMA’s Hurricane Plane in 2017, which will be used to promote hurricane preparedness and for post-disaster communications.
Providing content for FEMA’s blog during the 2016 hurricane season.
Incorporated insurance education into the National Hurricane Conference, the Florida’s Governor’s Hurricane Conference and others to explain the role insurance plays to emergency managers, regulators and first responders.
Maximize the industry’s resources by coordinating pre-and post-hurricane activities among organizations such as IBHS and FLASH, as well as the advocacy trades.
88
2016 Hurricane Season
Reach out to top tier national and local media in hurricane prone areas to educate the public about how insurance works.
Conduct a Satellite Media Tour in English and Spanish on “insuring against a disaster.”
Expand I.I.I.’s successful Spanish language insurance helplines to include additional news markets – Florida, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
Work with NBC News to create a dial-in insurance program with station volunteers. Pilot program to begin in August.
Strategically use I.I.I.’s social media outreach to promote preparedness messages and post disaster communications.
After a disaster, deploy the I.I.I.’s disaster website if necessary and issue news releases to be one step ahead of the news cycle.

Attracting Millennials to Insurance Careers
A New I.I.I. Initiative

“My Career in Insurance Is…”
In the next decade, insurance businesses need to fill 400,000 positions that will be left vacant by mature workers “aging out” of the workforce. These organizations need to take action now to recruit their next wave of leaders, thinkers, and innovators.
To help engage the Millennial Generation and showcase the variety and vitality of insurance careers , the I.I.I. created “My Career in Insurance Is ….: Opportunity, Reward, and a Career Path Without Limits.”
In this short video, we meet five young persons who come from very different backgrounds, but in insurance found the same thing: Careers that matter.
Opportunity, Reward, and a Career Path with No Limits.

Some of the 1990-2007 growth
in miles driven (+43.9%) is due
to population growth (+20.7%)…
…but the population grew by
6.6% from 2007-2015 and miles
driven didn’t grow at all.From November 2007 until January 2015, miles driven was below the
prior peak for 87 straight months—over 7 years! Previous record was
in the early 1980s (39 months)

P/C Insurer Portfolio Yields,2002-2015
Sources: NAIC data, sourced from S&P Global Market Intelligence; Insurance Information Institute.
P/C Carrier Yields Have Been Falling for Over a Decade, Reflecting the Long Downtrend in Prevailing Interest Rates. Even as Prevailing Rates Rise in the Next Few Years,
Portfolio Yields Are Unlikely to Rise Quickly, Since Low Yields of Recent Years Are “Baked In” to Future Returns.

Bonds Constitute Slightly More Than 2/3 of P/C Industry Investments.Roughly 36% of P/C Bonds Are in 1-5-Year Durations, So They Will Respond to Rising Interest
Rates in Just a Few Years. But Nearly Half of the Bond Portfolio is in 5-Year or Longer Durations, Which Will Take Longer to Rise.

Insurers Continue to See Meaningful Exposure Growth in the Wake of the “Great Recession” Associated with Home Construction: Construction Risk
Exposure, Surety, Commercial Auto; Potent Driver of Workers Comp Exposure.
Job Growth, Low Inventories of Existing Homes, Still-low
Mortgage Rates and Demographics, Should Continue to Stimulate
Housing Unit Construction for Several More Years.
New Home Starts Plunged 72% from 2005–2009; A Net Annual Decline of 1.49 Million
Units, Lowest Since Records Began in 1959.
