Episode 3: Flood Insurance: No longer a Disaster?

Flood insurance has been the bane of insurers for years. Most home insurance policies exclude the coverage, leaving the FEMA and its NFIP program to fill the gaps. Kin Insurance is among a new crop of startups convinced that it can make the coverage work, having launched in 2016 as a tech-driven home insurance carrier in Florida focused on customers with catastrophe coverage needs. Sean Harper, Kin’s CEO and co-founder, will discuss flood insurance, the challenges to address it and why it is more viable now.

What You’ll Learn:

• What flood insurance is, and why it is so difficult for the industry.
• Why flood insurance coverage is different now.
• How flood and other disaster cover can be a viable proposition.
