The United States is no stranger to acts of terrorism. In recent years, domestic and international events have increased with alarming frequency. More importantly, such events have shown that no area of life is completely risk-free.

Domestically, notable acts of terrorism have occurred on school campuses like Virginia Tech or Sandy Hook Elementary School. Just this month, Las Vegas experienced the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Concern over terrorism risk is clear and definite, but information and understanding of terrorism risk insurance is not as well known. Not-for-profit organization RIMS tackles this subject in its latest report, Terrorism Insurance: Understanding the Boundaries of Coverage for a Risk Without Borders.
