About

Insurers in Canada are looking for creative ways to motivate homeowners to better protect themselves against floods and water damage by investing in the resilience of their properties as despite the availability of incentives and educational resources, risk awareness and preparedness remains low. This webinar will explore the opportunities and challenges for growing resilience by showcasing a recent case study by TD Insurance regarding a recent pilot with the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction on a new approach to homeowner education.

Speakers include:

  • Huma Pabani, Director, Environment & National Issues, Government & Industry Relations at TD Insurance
  • Vic Adamowicz, University of Alberta and TDI Advisory Board on Climate Change
  • Paul Kovacs, Executive Director at Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction
