Hurricane Andrew: New Mexico
built 123 days ago
Homestead AFB operated until 1992, when Hurricane Andrew rendered inoperable 97 percent of installation facilities. In 1993, Homestead AFB was designated for base closure, primarily because the cost to close the base was low when measured against the high cost of reconstruction. In its aftermath, the hurricane left new environmental concerns and areas of potential contamination that must be addressed before the installation property can be transferred to the community.

Berg noted that analytic organizations are already developing new tools to analyze terrorism exposures, just as tools were developed to model hurricane exposures after the substantial losses of Hurricane Andrew. Brokers will likely use these tools for their large clients prior to submission to insurers, and insurers will use them to underwrite and reserve for their exposures. Insurers ... may be required to provide this type of information to reinsurers.
