Non-life insurance companies consider joint implementation of disaster damage investigation to expedite insurance payments December 20th 4:13
Due to the large number of natural disasters, non-life insurance companies are required to proceed with the insurance payment process as soon as possible. Therefore, the organizations created by each non-life insurance company decided to examine a new mechanism for jointly conducting disaster investigations that had been conducted individually by each company.
When a large-scale natural disaster occurs at a non-life insurance company, employees are dispatched to the affected areas to conduct damage surveys necessary for paying insurance money.
However, as large-scale natural disasters continued, it was pointed out that it would be inefficient to conduct surveys at the same time, and it was a common challenge to proceed with insurance payment procedures as soon as possible.
For this reason, the Japan General Insurance Association, which is created by nonlife insurance companies, has decided to consider a new system for joint investigation of damage.
Our policy is to share the drone images taken by the companies in the disaster area and the photos taken with the artificial satellites so that the damage investigation can be completed in a short period of time.
Starting next month, we will create a specialized team within the association and start concrete discussions.
At the news conference, Chairman Shinzo Kanesugi of the Japan General Insurance Association said, “The occurrence of a large-scale disaster is normal, and we believe that further action is required as an association. I want to go. "
