As a follow-on from the inaugural virtual town hall on COVID-19 and disaster risk impacts for communities and industries, the Insurance Information Institute and ResilientH2O Partners will hold our second in the series on the topic of investing in technology, projects and innovative solutions for mitigating risks caused by water, weather – and other persistent disasters.
Commercialization of academic, non-profit and industry R&D coupled with the entrepreneurial spirit for solving unique challenges to minimize loss of life, property, economic competitiveness have been sparked by the $1+ trillion in financial outlays for recovery and rebuilding across the U.S.
Through the value of insurance – both federal and private sector – as well as emerging alternative investment models, abundant opportunities exist for connecting a broad range of resources with emerging and advanced technologies, equipment, and projects across residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities, infrastructure, operations.
The 2nd Town Hall will introduce an example portfolio of those companies, projects, and experts while announcing the formation of specific actions to accelerate regional and national investments as the 2020 hurricane season begins during the continuing threat of COVID-19.
