Provide a core set of facts around the past, current and future likelihood of the economic impacts of hurricanes to the United States. Get input from the public policy makers who have to manage hurricane risk in relation to societal needs. Explore current initiatives in the areas of building mitigation, hazard mitigation and risk financing. Integral will be to explore how these initiatives can be commercially and economically deployed for the benefit of mitigating the risk.
