The National Association of Professional Insurance Agents' new president said he believes the most pressing issue facing the insurance industry and its customers today is finding a solution to catastrophe coverage problems.

Robert Page, president of Charles A. Page & Sons Insurance Agency in Houma, La., who was named president of the Alexandria, Va.-based association last month, said the greatest concern to him is finding an answer to providing affordable insurance to customers in catastrophe-prone areas of the nation.

Mr. Page said he believes the answer to this problem is having the federal and state governments and the private sector work together to create “some kind of mechanism that will allow people to afford to buy insurance.”
