11 Margareta Wahlstrom UN Secretary-General Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction Insurance helps people and countries recover more quickly after a disaster if they are insured. Loss of economic capacity is one of the hardest issues for people to face and we need mediation between the insurance industry and public sector Many disasters have not yet happened and therefore most insurance policies have yet to be written.
12 Prof. Jeffery Sachs Natural disasters like the devastating earthquake in Nepal constitute a highly uncertain but quantifiable risk. We need a new global system of disaster insurance, akin to how homeowners guard against calamity insurance underwriters would demand. cost-effective earthquake preparedness measures, like updated building and zoning codes; a disaster response plan; and emergency health plans. These steps would limit expected damages and lower the premium and expected payout. For some large and unpredictable risks, where the private sector alone won t provide cover, additional official financing would be blended with private funds. New York Times, op-ed, 4 May, 2015
13 Disaster Insurance in New Zealand Mixed public/private provision Residential Non Residential Basic cover Public insurance through EQC Automatic with fire insurance Top-up cover Private insurance Voluntary Private cover Voluntary
14 Unique Features of EQC Longevity established in 1945 First loss cover dwelling and contents and land cover Crown owned Compulsory co-purchase with domestic fire insurance Coverage of more than 90% of residential dwellings New Zealand s largest residential insurer One (low) price for all Expected to estimate precisely likely damages
15 New Zealand Insurance Second highest level of non-life insurance penetration globally (The Netherlands 9.5%, NZ 5.2%, ROK 4.6%, US 4.1% of GDP) Relative to expected losses from natural catastrophes NZ also ranked second. Expected annual losses in NZ 0.73% of GDP per annum #3 (cf Bangladesh 1.26%, Chile 0.87%, Turkey 0.52%) 80% of Canterbury insurable losses covered (Tohoku ~15%, Northridge ~5%, Haiti, Vanuatu, Nepal? ~ 0%) High quality science and engineering research and practice underpin ability to assess risk, and price it, and enable (re)insurance Hybrid market for residential customers EQC and private Enormous contribution to recovery, and economic stability
16 EQC s Roles Research To understand and reduce vulnerability to geological hazards Insurance Mitigate the financial impact of geological disasters on home owners Education Inform and encourage risk reduction

21 Number of houses Distribution of Building Damage Aggregated after 22 February 2011 Shaking damage (150,000 houses) Exacerbated building damage due to liquefaction (30,000 houses) Typically 0 - $60k damage High intensity of total losses (typically $800k) $ Value of building damage
22 Complexities Event sequence, apportionment Increased Flooding /Liquefaction Risk Multi-unit buildings Homeowners pre-quake situations Pre-existing housing stock quality Legislative interpretation Customer services capability Changed expectations of EQC Massive upscale then downscale
23 Progress in Canterbury CHRP 95% complete (March 2015) 68,000 home repairs unique internationally 63,000 emergency repairs 19,000 clean heat installations Cost of $8.4 billion rising to $11.5 billion Completion planned 2015 Best housing stock nationally
24 Progress Cook Strait and Eketahuna Cook Strait earthquakes : July 2013 Over 12,000 claims $29 million in settlements 97% settled Eketahuna earthquake: January 2014 Over 5,000 claims $8.9 million 91% settled
25 Reinsurance CHRP well received Funded improved housing stock Controlled inflation One of biggest reinsurance programmes globally Maintained cover and confidence externally
26 Options to Manage Disaster Risk Avoid exposure Control impact Transfer or pool Accept residual Land use planning Design and build Insurance (capital for recovery) Fix post-event; emergency response More explicit community engagement about trade-offs is needed
27 Risk Management Approaches AVOID exposure Risk Reduction through Land Use Planning Loss $ CONTROL impact Risk Reduction through Building Design/Controls Recovery funding through Insurance/Capital Markets TRANSFER Adaptive Capacity - Response and Recovery arrangements ACCEPT V. Low Frequency High
28 A Systemic Issue Planners Engineers Geologists Building control officials Communities Accountability for the risks that lie between boundaries
