Planning for Recovery: Understanding Insurance for Historic Buildings and Collections

Insurance planning should be part of your emergency response plan. A critical factor to consider is how you'll pay for the services you need to recover. During this presentation, we'll cover the types of insurance policies available, including building, collections, general liability, extra expense, and business interruption. We will also cover what the policies typically include and what they don't. You will develop an understanding of how insurance transactions work and how to make them work for you, including a review of a typical contract and review of the terms. We will discuss working with your insurance agent to ensure you get the best advice and support. If insurance is your means of recovering from a disaster, then a basic understanding of how it works is essential. The instructor will include examples and case studies.
