Beazley P.L.C. has launched a comprehensive emergency evacuation coverage suite for employers called Beazley Flight, the insurer announced Tuesday.
As well as providing claims payouts, the coverage provides advisory and evacuation services for three scenarios: a deteriorating political environment that puts a client’s employees at serious risk; a natural catastrophe that presents a severe threat; and a medical emergency, Beazley said in a statement.
“In the face of such risks, as well as in situations of acute medical risk where local treatment facilities are inadequate, on-the-ground capabilities and expertise are essential,” Chris Parker, underwriter and head of Beazley’s terrorism and political violence insurance team, said in the statement. “We have teamed up with specialist firms that have proven global capabilities in all these areas and strong track records in bringing at-risk employees to safety.”
Aon P.L.C.’s 24/7 World Aware Crisis Operations Center has been contracted to manage and coordinate all emergency evacuation incidents and responses, Beazley said in the statement.
Beazley Flight also offers the services of other companies for various scenarios, Beazley said in the statement. Red24, a crisis management assistance firm, will provide advice and evacuation capabilities for employees and their dependents at risk after a natural catastrophe or political violence. Specialty Assist, a medical emergency specialist, can assist in the logistics required for medical repatriation. And specialist consultant Hazelwood Street can work closely with clients to secure the safe release of detained or kidnapped employees.
