Goal
![Page 18: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
By definition, disasters are rarely tame or predictable, and few businesses are truly prepared for the full extent and nature of a disaster when it does strike. While recovery is never easy, there are a few key steps you can take before and after an event to help make your insurance claim – which is, after all, the basis for your financial recovery – go just a bit more smoothly.
![Page 19: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Photographs will be important to prove the extent of your damages later. Take new photos every year, or after any development to the property.
![Page 20: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Photographs will be important to prove the extent of your damages later. Take new photos every year, or after any development to the property.
Make sure your business-critical client records and communications systems are backed up off site so you can immediately retrieve key client information, financial documents, and sales histories. This responsiveness can make or break your public relations and disaster recovery efforts.
![Page 21: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Photographs will be important to prove the extent of your damages later. Take new photos every year, or after any development to the property.
Have a response team in place through a practiced business continuity plan. Integrate your experts into this plan, including claims consultants, general contractors, and insurance brokers. Be sure your insurance policy is designed to be responsive to your exact needs.

Ideally, you should not hire a contractor to rebuild your business until you have agreed on a repair/replacement scope of damage and an estimate of pricing with your insurance company. Then you will know how much you have to spend on reconstruction.
![Page 27: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Photograph or videotape the scene, including the “debris pile,” before you begin any cleanup efforts. When estimating damages, do not rely solely on your historical records. Instead, secure replacement cost estimates.
![Page 28: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Read and make sure you understand your rights and obligations under your insurance policy before entering into any serious discussions or negotiations with your carrier. Seek out a professional to help you understand what your policy actually covers and, just as important, what it doesn’t.
![Page 29: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Keep a log of all activities and save all receipts after the damage, including those for property replacement and extra expenses. This will provide the documentation a disaster recovery professional requires to present expenses to your carrier, and you will know which expenses will be reimbursed as you rebuild.

![Page 31: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The insurance adjuster sent by your carrier to evaluate the damages is exclusively working for the insurance company, not for you. It’s your responsibility to document and submit your claim. Make sure you have someone who knows insurance inside and out on your side to ensure that you get a full, fair and expedited settlement- while you concentrate on maintaining your operations, not on claim details. Understand that your claim will have to be verified.
![Page 32: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How Do Claims Get Adjusted?
It is important to note that it is the insured’s obligation to prove its loss to the insurance company(ies). The insurance companies will retain numerous consultants to analyze a loss, including:
– Adjuster– Forensic Accountant– Building Consultant/Estimator– Salvor/Inventory Consultant– Engineer– Attorney– Industrial Hygienist– Equipment & Machinery Expert
•What options are available to the insured to level the playing field in measuring and calculating the recoverable loss under various insurance policies?
![Page 33: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Potential Coverage Issues
• Code or Ordinance Coverage – Do you have it? Is it enough?
• Debris Removal Coverage – How far does it go?
• Mold – Is it covered? Excluded? Capped?• Windstorm property deductible – 2, 3, 5% of
policy limit or insured property & time element values?
![Page 34: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Potential Coverage Issues (continued)
• Business Interruption & Extended Period of Indemnity
• Extra Expense – How can it help? How much is needed?
• Civil Authority
• Utility Service Interruption
![Page 35: Preparing For Catastrophic Losses Hospitality Asset Managers Association October 3, 2008 ~ Austin, Texas Presented by: Robin H. Camp, F.C.I.P., AON Risk](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2d5503460f94b1dcda/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Important Aspects to aSuccessful Adjustment
• Understand your insurance policy before a loss occurs.
• Establish a clear line of communication with the insurance company personnel.
• Remember that the adjuster appointed by your insurance company will not make your claim and will not manage your process.
• Recognize the importance of presenting a well documented claim that is clear and presentable and easily understood.
• Presenting information in a timely manner to the insurance company to assure a smooth claims process
