A History of Terrorism Insurance
3
Pool RE
• Formed in 1993 following a series of terrorism incidents in the early 1990’s in London and elsewhere in England related to the situation in Northern Ireland at that time.
• Members include the majority of major property insurers in the London market.
• In the event of a loss resulting from an act of terrorism, each Member must first pay losses up to a policy threshold.
• When losses exceed that threshold, the insurer can claim upon Pool Re’s reserves, which now stand at almost £6 billion.
• Pool Re has paid out claims of more than £600 million at no cost to the UK taxpayer.
• Some Lloyd’s markets began writing standalone terrorism policies covering assets outside of the UK

TRIA
• U.S. Government program created to stabilize the Insurance industry after 9/11.
• Pre 9/11- terrorism coverage was silent
‒ 2,976 killed, $40B in Loss
• After 9/11- limited availability in high risk areas
• Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA)
‒ Signed into law Nov 26, 2002
‒ Intended as a temporary program while private market formed
‒ Not a pool. Shared loss program (Private Industry, Government, Policyholders)
• Extended in 2005, 2007, and 2015.
A History of Terrorism Insurance

Private market expands in Lloyds • MAP Syndicate in Lloyd’s, post 9/11, produced a standalone
terrorism property wording that they called “T3”.
• T3 is commonly used in the market to refer to any Terrorism-only policy. These are private-market solutions to cover terrorism risk.
• The T3 was not adapted by Lloyd’s until 2006 when the LMA was asked to produce an LMA version of MAP Syndicate’s wording. This was given Lloyd’s wording reference LMA3030.
• Many carriers and MGA’s today brand their standalone form as “T3”, but many of them vary widely and include exclusions that are not on the Lloyd’s LMA3030 wording.
Defining Terrorism in the US
Defining Terrorism
FBI / Code of Federal Regulations • Involves violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law; • Appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a
government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping
Department of Defense • The unlawful use of violence or threat of violence, often motivated by religious ,political, or other
ideological beliefs, to instil fear and coerce governments or societies in pursuit of goals that are usually political
Department of State • Premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational
groups or clandestine agents
FEMA • The use of force or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the United
States for purposes of intimidation, coercion, or ransom. Terrorists often use threats to: ‒ Create fear among the public ‒ Try to convince citizens that their government is powerless to prevent terrorism ‒ Get immediate publicity for their causes
Defining Terrorism
TRIPRA • The term act of terrorism means any act that is certified by the Secretary of Treasury, after consulting
with the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General of the United States: – To be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; – To have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian
population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion
Lloyd’s Market Association – An act or series of acts, including the use of force or violence, of any person or group(s) of persons,
whether acting alone or on behalf of or in connection with any organisation(s), committed for political, religious or ideological purposes including the intention to influence any government and/or to put the public in fear for such purposes.
ISO (non TRIPRA) – "Other act of terrorism" means a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or
infrastructure that is committed by an individual or individuals and that appears to be part of an effort to coerce a civilian population or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of any government by coercion, and the act is not certified as a terrorist act pursuant to the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.

Increased awareness?
• Recent shooting events have prompted an influx of inquiries from our insureds and brokers with respect to available coverage
• 24-hour news channels and social media may be increasing their coverage of violent incidents, raising the perceived threat
• Some suggest that the increased level of media exposure could be increasing the level of mass shootings
– In a recent paper titled “Mass Shootings and the Media Contagion Effect” presented at the American Psychological Association annual conference, Jennifer Johnston and Andrew Joy suggest that increasingly intense media coverage of mass shootings is partly to blame
– The majority of mass shooters are depressed and socially isolated
– Shooters fixate on mass shootings as a way to “regain social capital” through the fame they know the media will bestow upon them with non-stop coverage of their crime
Active shooter incidents: 2000-2013
Parameters • Implicit in this definition is that the
subject’s criminal actions involve the use of firearms.
• Incidents identified in this study do not encompass all gun-related situations
• The study does not encompass all mass killings or shootings in public places
• Study does not include gang or drug violence
http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2014/september/fbi-releases-study-on-active-shooter-incidents/pdfs/a-study-of-active-shooter-incidents-in-the-u.s.-between-2000-and-2013
FBI Active Shooter Study • “An individual actively engaged in killing
or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.”
• Active shooter is a term used by law enforcement to describe a situation in which a shooting is in progress and an aspect of the crime may affect the protocols used in responding to and reacting at the scene of the incident. (excluding shootings related to gang or drug violence).
• Unlike a defined crime, such as a murder or mass killing, the active aspect inherently implies that both law enforcement personnel and citizens have the potential to affect the outcome of the event based upon their responses.
