IAG’s success is determined by how well it supports its customers to get back on their feet when disaster strikes. IAG sees that it has a responsibility to support the people and businesses it protects when they need them the most, and has the skills and experience to offer customers rapid support to help them recover. IAG also promotes disaster resilience and mitigation to help customers and communities be as prepared as possible for the risks they may face.
