This one-day forum was held on on March 28, 2022: It brought together emergency managers and insurance professionals to take a closer look at earthquake insurance, exploring its potential as a resilience tool and discussing a number of challenges that have so far limited its role in financial preparedness. Because an important part of the preparedness equation is public awareness and action, the forum also introduced research and messaging tools that participants can use in their earthquake education and outreach programs.
