Some say one should never let a good crisis go to waste, and that's certainly the case for commercial insurers trying to convince clients big and small to upgrade their coverage and risk-management efforts in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
The lessons of that monster storm hit home for me, quite literally, one year ago, on Oct. 29, 2012.
Sandy turned my sleepy Brooklyn community of Sheepshead Bay upside down, and life still hasn't gotten entirely back to normal. Other areas were hit far harder by Sandy, to be sure. But for someone like me, whose only flooding experience in decades had been a backed-up sewer (despite living just a mile from a bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond), seeing my co-op apartment building's first floor filled with three feet of saltwater was an experience I never want to repeat.
