Today, the Reinsurance Association of America (RAA) and the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the shared goal of analyzing and communicating weather and climate hazard risks to key stakeholders. This MOU allows RAA and NOAA to intensify and be even more intentional in working towards our shared goals of protecting all Americans against extreme weather events. “The RAA appreciates the opportunity to meaningfully advance our long-standing relationship with NOAA with the continued goal of reducing the loss of lives and property damage caused by extreme weather events, as well as helping American families to prepare for and recover faster from these events, through better research and data,” said RAA President Lee Covington, CAE. “The RAA looks forward to serving as a facilitator for industry engagement with NOAA on these important issues.” For RAA and NOAA’s full press releases, see: https://lnkd.in/e5eZjqve Pictured: Lee Covington, RAA President and Richard (Rick) Spinrad, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere / NOAA Administrator
