LAS VEGAS--Insurers can't ever count on a year of small disaster losses and need to be continuously prepared for a major catastrophic event to ensure customer satisfaction, an insurance executive said.

Juan Andrade, executive vice president property and casualty claims for Hartford, Conn.-based The Hartford, gave that advice today at the conclusion of the National Underwriter Company's 11th annual ACE (America's Claims Event) conference here.

He said a major lesson learned from recent catastrophes is there is no off-season for these events and insurers need to be prepared to respond quickly or risk damage to both reputation and customer loyalty.
