Because terrorist acts have unique characteristics that are unlike natural disasters, traditional loss-prevention tools often fall short when preparing for this risk, according to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).
The 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks presents an ideal time to review how attacks are mitigated, and to look at terrorist acts in a different way than natural hazards, IBHS says, adding that a hybrid approach to preparation can reduce the physical, economic and psychological damage that terrorists seek to inflict.
