BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Vero urges establishment of permanent national body to manage disasters

August 20, 2015 Reprints

Vero Insurance New Zealand Ltd. is pushing a permanent national body to manage disasters, reports Stuff.co.nz.

The call for a national body comes after the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority recently announced that it would wind down its operation by April 2016. "There is merit in considering a permanent role for a body such as CERA within government, to maintain the expertise and capability we have gained and to ensure that in the event of further disasters we have the starting point to immediate action and to scale operations to suit the need,” Vero New Zealand chief executive Gary Dransfield said.
