Welcome to "Risk REconsidered", a new podcast from Swiss Re. Our first series will explore the intersection of climate change, costly natural catastrophes and risk protection.
Latest Episodes
Ep 4Above the waters: preparing for flood risk
In the fourth episode of Risk REconsidered, we explore why flood losses are rising across India, Australia and Asia with insights from Vineet Kumar, Swiss Re's Head of Cat Perils APAC, and Andrew Hall of the Insurance Council of Australia. We examine how smarter modelling, richer data and forward-looking planning can help communities build long-term resilience. Commissioner Tony Grindberg joins us to discuss the Fargo–Moorhead Diversion, a leading US flood-protection project that highlights climate adaptation on a large scale.
S1 Ep 3Large loss events: designing for disaster
In the third episode of Risk REconsidered we take a closer look at the January Los Angeles wildfires from a large loss perspective and discuss what research is being carried out by The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety to help home owners better prepare for natural catastrophes. We also speak to Professor Nancy Wallace about her first-hand experience with wildfires and what work she is doing to help the future insurability of wildfires in California.
S1 Ep 2Eying hurricane damage
In the second episode of Risk REconsidered, we take a closer look at the 2024 hurricane season, discuss the role of hurricane forecasts for insurers and examine drivers of storm losses. We also speak to an innovative US real estate developer whose community in Florida came through Hurricanes Ian and Milton virtually unscathed, and discuss the a topic on risk managers' minds: how weather-related perils are impacting insurability in disaster prone areas.
S1 Ep 1Weathering the storm
In this first episode, we discuss complex hazards that accompany severe convective storms, in particular hail that has emerged as a main culprit behind the bulk of insured losses from natural catastrophes. We also speak with a US professor who helps develop university-level storm chasing courses and who has been an advisor for Hollywood crews seeking to capture fierce weather for their productions.
