Grand Cayman, 15 March, 2010 – Since 2007, sixteen Caribbean governments have included parametric insurance policies against hurricanes and earthquakes from the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) as part of their countries’ disaster risk management portfolios. In light of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, many of these countries are re-examining their preparedness for natural catastrophes, including their levels of coverage under CCRIF.
