Help clients understand their exposure to extreme weather and the practical steps they can take to reduce their risk.
Flooding, wildfire and extreme heat are creating growing risks for Canadian homes and communities. For brokers, these evolving risks present an important opportunity to move beyond coverage conversations and help clients better understand how to protect their homes and build resilience.
Join Kathryn Bakos, Managing Director, Finance and Resilience at the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, University of Waterloo, for a practical session on helping clients prepare for extreme weather.
Kathryn will explore the growing financial and personal impacts of extreme weather and share practical, cost-effective measures that homeowners and renters can take to reduce their exposure to flooding, wildfire and extreme heat.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand how extreme weather is affecting homes, communities and insurability across Canada.
- Help clients identify practical steps to reduce flood, wildfire and extreme heat risk.
- Use resilience guidance to add value to client conversations and help clients better protect their homes.
