Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Writer at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society. Today, Justin is joined by recurring guest, Whitney Craig (RIMS Government Relations Director), for a follow-up on the RIMS Legislative Summit.

 

In this episode, Whitney and Justin pick up where they left off in September of their last podcast that was recorded live at the RIMS 2018 Legislative Summit. They had discussed the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) — so today, they will be revisiting these topics, plus a whole lot more!
