With
the dramatic increase in targeted violence against relief &
development workers, NGOs realize that adequate insurance is an
important tool in their security plans. NGO insurance supports
the health and safety of workers, and may provide liability protection
for the NGO.
Common
Security Concerns
What
happens when workers need medical attention when
traveling outside their home country?
How
will they find an appropriate physician, and who
will pay for potentially expensive medical bills?
Are
they covered for Terrorist Acts and War-Related
Injuries?
What
about kidnapping and extortion?
How
will they handle an emergency in case of a language barrier?
Is
the NGO compliant with Defense Base Act requirements?
Does
the NGO have adequate liability coverage?
Are
there Third-Country Nationals on staff who should
be insured?
Does
the NGOs insurance portfolio contain troublesome gaps in
coverage?
To
help solve security concerns, our NGO clients
select one or more "Security First" insurance
plans
that meet their needs.
