THE ENERGY AND RESOURCES GROUP PRESENTS: SPEAKER: Carolyn Kousky Executive Director Wharton Risk Center University of Pennsylvania DATE: February 24, 2021 TIME: 1:30-3:00 PM  LOCATION: Zoom MEETING ID: 940 9990 7679 PASSCODE: 145981 NOTE: Participants who are not eligible for a UC Berkeley-provided Zoom account can use a Zoom account provided by their institution, can create a free, consumer Zoom account (at https://zoom.us/freesignup/), or can dial in via the phone. DESCRIPTION:  At the same time that disaster insurance is becoming ever more essential to ensure the financial resiliency of households and communities in the face of escalating extremes, those very events are stressing these markets. This presentation will discuss the design of public-private partnerships to stabilize disaster insurance markets, the extent to which insurance can be a risk signal to housing and mortgage markets, and how to harness insurance for greater investments in resilience.

In conclusione, vorremmo sottolineare che l’automedicazione è pericolosa per la salute: anche un comune inalatore come il ventolin e farmaci apparentemente innocui hanno controindicazioni in linea ed effetti collaterali. Non mettete a rischio la vostra salute e la vostra vita: non siate pigri nel consultare un medico.
