Title: U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act: An Initial Critical Review Authors: Thomas A. Player Volume: 10 Number: 2 Issue: Spring 2003 Page: 1 Abstract: An overview of the recently enacted Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 and several critical observations about its implementation; as well as, a comparison of key provisions of the U.S. Act with other pools in other countries. By now many of you have heard bits and pieces about the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 ("TRIA"), that President Bush signed into law on November 26, 2002. Because reinsurers are not covered by TRIA, you probably have not pored over its provisions. This article will endeavor to accomplish three things: first, to give you an overview of TRIA and its provisions and some interpretations of those provisions by the U.S. Department of Treasury ("Treasury"), TRIA's primary regulator; secondly, to place TRIA into context with similar government reinsurance pools of other countries; and, finally, to point out some of TRIA?s implementation illusions.

Convention wisdom dictates that reengineered customers with specialized equipment, reduced inventories, few suppliers, and complex interdependency arrangements will begin to present the insurance industry with an array of ever-growing BI claims. In fact, there is more to the picture than the increased size of the maximum event.

Many insurance executives were surprised by the size of their company’s losses from Katrina. In this article, we address questions such as: Are models capturing extreme events like Hurricane Katrina? Is the exposure data going into the models sufficiently accurate and complete to produce reliable loss estimates? What can insurers and reinsurers do to gauge the quality of their detailed data? In the course of answering these questions, we also discuss best practices for interpreting model results and managing catastrophe risk.

Today's underwriting practices for property risks in the NMSZ are inadequate from a risk assessment point of view as well as a rating methodology's. This paper, copyrighted by Arkwright, was presented at the New Madrid Quake Conference N.Y., NY, October 30, 1997.
