In this episode of A.M. BestTV, insurance industry veterans say risk management efforts surrounding Super Bowl XLVIII - the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl in NFL history - extend well past the possibility of a winter storm. On the weather, though, Frank Lombardo, president of WeatherWorks and meteorologist for MetLife Stadium, where the Super Bowl will be played, said that although chances of a blizzard on that day are slim, the possibility still exists. Lance Ewing, industry practice group leader for hospitality and leisure at American International Group, spoke about how weather could trigger business interruption policies at ancillary businesses anchored by the game, such as hotels and restaurants. LeConte Moore, managing director at DeWitt Stern, discusses interest his company is seeing in its Super Bowl revenue protection policy. Ewing also talks about the myriad of other factors planners must address, such as terrorism and reputational risks. Click on http://www.ambest.com/v.asp?v=superbowl114 to view the video program.
