Addressing the National Association of Insurance Commissioners winter meeting were Robert Porter, executive director of ProtectingAmerica.org; Timothy Reinhold, vice president of engineering for the Institute for Business & Home Safety; and James Dalessandro, earthquake historian, author and screenwriter.
A report of their comments to the NAIC New Madrid Subgroup was contained in a statement from ProtectingAmerica.org.
