Indispensable support for your indispensable services

摘要

In these challenging times, it is important for local authorities to build, and maintain, resilient communities that can withstand a whole host of threats. With more than 25 years of experience protecting local authorities and their communities, Zurich Municipal is on hand to offer expert help when and where your communities need it. We will work alongside you, to identify and help mitigate the risks you face. As a constant partner, we can provide you with the insight to address your evolving requirements. And in the event that a problem arises, we will respond quickly and efficiently, ensuring you receive the support you need to help keep disruption to a minimum. Local authorities need to manage risk not just for individual problems or cases, but for the wider community. Continuity in the face of adversity can be a fundamental concern, and we always endeavour to build this into your risk strategy where possible. 'If we are partnering with a town that's home to a major tourist attraction, for example, we will suggest that the local authority not only insures that attraction's own assets, but also considers how any damage might impact on affected businesses and the community at large,' explains Zurich Municipal's Head of Public Services, Rod Penman. 'We will then work with them to develop an effective contingency plan. This might include finding alternative premises for those businesses to temporarily move into, to help mitigate their losses.'
