As climate-related disasters grow more frequent and severe, insurance has evolved from being a simple financial safety net into a vital pillar of disaster preparedness and recovery. At Amalgamated Life, we recognize these challenges and are committed to helping individuals, families, and organizations build resilience through comprehensive insurance solutions.
Understanding the Growing Threat
According to Forbes, insured losses from natural disasters have surged to an average of $152 billion annually, marking a 25% increase in just one year. This alarming trend is not only driven by mega-storms but also by the increasing frequency of smaller, yet highly disruptive, events like wildfires, flash floods, and severe thunderstorms.
These disasters don’t just damage property, they disrupt lives, displace communities, and strain financial resources. That’s why having the right insurance coverage in place is more important than ever.
Insurance as a Tool for Recovery and Resilience
Insurance plays a critical role in helping people and organizations recover after a disaster. It provides the financial support needed to rebuild, replace, and restore. But more than that, it offers peace of mind and a sense of security in uncertain times.
At Amalgamated Life, we offer a robust portfolio of life and health products and solutions designed to support both immediate recovery and long-term resilience. The portfolio includes:
- Group Term Life Insurance to protect families from financial hardship
- Medical Stop Loss to shield self-funded health plans from catastrophic health claims
- Disability Insurance to provide income protection during recovery
- Specialty Drug Cost Management to control high-cost pharmaceutical spending’s effect on self-funded plans
- Voluntary Benefits such as accident, critical illness, and whole life insurance
Each of these offerings is backed by our USA-based customer service team and a consistent A.M. Best “A” (Excellent) rating, reflecting our financial strength and commitment to reliability since 1975.
