CS12: Growth in the Private Flood Market
The private flood market was nearly nonexistent only a few years ago. However, the growth in highly detailed modeling tools opened a whole new market. The ability to differentiate the flood exposure potential of one property relative to the one next door, across the entire country, makes it possible to develop very detailed pricing systems to reflect exposure to flood. Since the historical take-up rate with for flood insurance has been relatively low, and a significant protection gap exists in the market. Can the private market step in to fill that gap? This session will focus on a discussion on the current state of the private flood market; specifically on the solutions available to the property owners and the tools available to carriers that can address the high protection gap that exists and thus the resilience of communities after a flood event.

CS10: Finding Waldo: Geospatial Solutions to Cat Risk
NEWSFLASH: A new risk has emerged that isn't modeled
NEWSFLASH: Company X writes more risk than it should have and has an outsized loss
NEWSFLASH: A massive event happens, but it's impossible to access the properties right now and every stakeholder wants to know how much loss does Company X
These newsflashes are more common than uncommon in the insurance industry today. One of the greatest types of technology to manage and understand our accumulation of catastrophic risk is Geospatial in nature. This panel will discuss ways in which geospatial technology can be used to answer these newsflashes

PD-2 - The Problem with Communication is the Illusion that it has occurred
Actuarial work is complicated and difficult to understand and so it is hard for non-actuaries to understand our work. The problem is often exacerbated by actuaries having spent 10,000 or more hours studying technical matters but probably less than 1,000 hours developing communication skills. As actuaries advance in their careers, effective communication becomes more important than analytical work (which can be delegated to capable staff). Also, as actuaries we likely have even less experience in dealing with confrontation which can be critical when communicating bad news. The presenters are writing a paper on this subject.

GS-2 - Modeling the COVID-19 Pandemic
This session will look at modeling the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of an infectious disease epidemiologist. The presenter, Professor Deirdre Hollingsworth, uses mathematical models and statistical analyses to study the evolution and transmission dynamics of infectious diseases with the aim of informing the design of more effective control interventions. The session will introduce some of the basic mathematics used in studying COVID-19 transmission within a population. Using live-polling, basic information will be collected from the virtual audience to inform a simple model of COVID-19 transmission within a hypothetical in-person instance of the Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar held during the pandemic.
