Natural disasters: networks serving those affectedIn the event of severe weather, the delegates of the Insurance Documentation and Information Centre (CDIA) are mobilised as soon as an amber alert is issued by Météo France. They transmit information gathered on the ground about the scale and progress of the event to the FFA in real time. This information is extremely valuable to the Federation, enabling it to be highly responsive, both locally
and nationally, to the public authorities, the media and those affected. These local representatives also provide information to those affected and help them with their claims, for example by holding regular information sessions. In addition, the CDIA’s delegates and the CATNAT (Natural Disaster) coordinators participate in the crisis units set up by the government following a major weather event.
THE FRENCH INSURANCE FEDERATION’S REGIONAL NETWORKS
The French Insurance Federation has a number of networks of representatives in the regions. These regional networks allow effective intervention in the event of a crisis, as well as providing day-to-day representation of the Federation and the industry throughout the country.
The FFA’s correspondents are the preferred interlocutors of the public authorities, trade bodies and chambers of commerce, industry, crafts and agriculture in the regions. They disseminate the Federation’s principal messages on key issues for the insurance sector. The 12 correspondents, directors of regional of f ices of insurance companies, are based in 6 major French cities: Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Rennes, Strasbourg and Toulouse.
The rep resen t a t i ves o f t he Insu ranc e Documentation and Information Centre (CDIA) – general agents and brokers – are responsible for delivering practical and educational information on insurance to all audiences: private individuals, professionals, businesses and associations. The 94 delegates and 400 local correspondents also play an essential role on the ground when a weather event occurs.
The Natural Disaster coordinators are the industry’s technical advisers in the departments when major weather events occur. They are almost a hundred in number and they act with the public authorities to deal with complex problems in terms of insurance in order to speed up settlement of insured parties’ claims and help them get their lives back to normal.
The insurance careers ambassadors meet the public at job fairs, orientation sessions and information meetings to promote careers, training and employment in the insurance sector. The 50 ambassadors are insurance company employees and are present in the main towns and cities of France.
The regional life, health and protection insurance clubs, six in number, cover the whole of France and bring together the sales managers of the insurance companies’ salaried employee sales networks. These clubs provide a forum for sharing information on technical, commercial, regulatory and ethical developments in life, health and protection insurance.

CORA’s areas of focus
HealthThe costs of cutting-edge medical care are rising dramatically. National budgets are tightening. The role of insurers in ensuring the stability of health systems is crucial. CORA considers how to improve social protection for all French people within a system they value.
The digital revolutionInsurers’ activities and their relations with citizens-consumers are being transformed by the digital revolution. CORA looks at all aspects of this change: access to personal data, simplification of services and benefits, etc.
RegulationCORA is committed to promoting good regulation, which allows fair competition, and raising the alarm where it sees examples of poor regulation, which is a source of inefficiency and destroys value.
Risk cultureCORA contributes to the public debate and encourages initiatives that develop risk education, thus contributing to social and entrepreneurial development in our country.
Protection of people and propertyCORA contributes to the discussions and reflections of insurers, who seek to push back the boundaries of insurability every day.
See the subjects considered by CORA and the list of CORA’s members
THE CORA THINK TANK
The CORA Think Tank (Conseil d’Orientation et de Réflexion de l’Assurance) was created in 2008 at the initiative of Bernard Spitz, Chairman of the French Insurance Federation.
The aim of this independent think tank is to foster dialogue between the insurance industry and civil society. It meets four times a year.
Contributing to public debate
The setting up of CORA reflects insurers’ desire to play their role in society to the full and to contribute to public debate.
CORA is chaired by Jean-Pierre Boisivon and has some twenty members, all drawn from civil society.
These men and women are philosophers, doctors, lawyers, trade unionists, economists, teachers, historians, demographers, writers, politicians, former ministers, entrepreneurs and others, both French and foreign, bringing a range of different sensibilities and opinions.
CORA focuses on the issues of today and tomorrow, such as the ageing population, health, the digital revolution, sustainable development, risk education, regulation, etc.
The freedom of CORA’s members to express themselves and the diversity of their skills and professional experience enable insurers to better understand changes in society.

THE UNIVERSITY OF INSURANCE
The University of Insurance was created in 2010. Its purpose is to promote a culture of insurance and risk management among students, professionals and decision-makers.
Established as a network bringing together higher education establishments and insurance companies, the University of Insurance has as its missions:
� the creation and promotion of centres of excellence in insurance education;
� building bridges between those working in higher education and insurance professionals;
� promoting innovative teaching.
The University of Insurance is chaired by Sylvain Mortera, CEO of AREAS Assurances.
The insurance centres of excellence: high-level multi-disciplinary training
The insurance and reinsurance sectors offer many career opportunities. The University of Insurance has set up centres of excellence across France delivering high-level insurance training to provide an effective response to companies’ recruitment needs.
The multi-disciplinary education provided by the centres of excellence provides students with access to all insurance and risk management careers. Numerous training programmes are offered, tailored to student profiles: initial training, continuing training, certif ication, work-linked training, etc.
More than 30 training courses are already provided by the University of Insurance’s network.
Education that helps students find employment
The University of Insurance increases exchanges of ideas and experiences between those working in higher education and professionals in the insurance sector. The relationships established make it possible to continuously adapt the training programmes to changes in the insurance and reinsurance sector.
The insurance industry also promotes international exchanges by developing partnerships between higher education establishments across the world.
Prioritising innovation in teaching and research
The University of Insurance promotes innovation in teaching and research in the areas of insurance and risk management. By doing so, it supports the transformation of the sector, which is ever more international in nature and in which the role of digital is ever-increasing.

THE ASSOCIATION ATTITUDE PRÉVENTION
Prevention is an integral part of insurers’ work. It is an important cause, inseparable from insurers’ social responsibility, and all insurers are engaged in it.
Standing alongside their insured parties when an accident or loss occurs, insurers provide them with the best possible support to mitigate the consequences. But they owe it to themselves to go further and make the French people aware of the risks they run in their daily lives and help them to protect themselves against those risks.
That is why the members of the French Insurance Federation carry out numerous awareness campaigns on an individual basis. They have also chosen to participate in collective initiatives and actions within the association Attitude Prévention.
The missions of Attitude Prévention are:
� to raise awareness about prevention – particularly road-related risks, accidents of everyday life and health – on behalf of all insurers, in conjunction with the French Insurance Federation;
� to design and implement initiatives to raise awareness of road-related risks, risks in the home and health risks among the general public, alone or in partnership with other organisations;
� to act as a point of reference for the analysis of data on road-related risks, risks of everyday life and health risks.
Attitude Prévention is chaired by Patrick Jacquot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Assurance Mutuelle des Motards.

Le CosapAttitude Prévention’s
Scientific CouncilCosap is Attitude Prévention’s scientific council. It was set up on 13 November 2017, under the chairmanship of Bernard Spitz, Chairman of the FFA. Its members are senior people from different backgrounds; this diversity brings great benefits and is a source of creativity and innovation. Cosap is a real asset for the association, giving access to the best experts on social changes and advances in research to enable insurers to respond in the best way possible to the challenges of preventing road-related accidents, accidents in the home, accidents of everyday life, health risks, climate risks, digital risks, etc. Attitude Prévention looks to Cosap for advice and opinions on its current actions and approach to issues, exchanges of views on actions that could be taken in the future, and input into its work to develop its cross-cutting approach to risk culture.
