Risk Management for First Nations Presented by: Bob Burhoe, CIP, CRM AFN Insurance Brokers Inc. began operations in 1998. Our president and founder, Gil Saunders, saw a need - to provide quality insurance products at competitive prices to First Nations in Canada. He developed insurance products designed solely for First Nations. The AFN Insurance approach: to educate First Nations in the area of Risk Management and Loss Controls to keep losses at a level that our prices would satisfy insurers and benefit First Nations. AFNIB is now one of the largest suppliers of First Nations insurance in Canada. We provide insurance coverage from coast to coast to coast.

Your Mission As a First Nation Government your specific mission will be unique to your people - but it probably includes providing services and other assets for your people Risk Management can help by identifying risks that damage or destroy assets and/or prevent services to those who need them

Facilities & Services What services or facilities do you need to carry out your mission? Do you have to provide them all or can others provide some? What do you need to carry out your mission? - Community Centers - Playgrounds Even if you have others provide some of the services, you may not escape liability if something goes wrong. If they are responsible for damages but can’t afford to pay for them you may still get stuck with the bill.

Risk Management in a nutshell Identify Risks that prevent you from accomplishing your goals Decide how to reduce or eliminate each Risk identified The Purpose of Risk Management Each of the previous slides showed resources supplied by different communities. For each resource there are corresponding risks. Buildings can burn or suffer water damage - reducing your resources. Winter slip and fall hazards can injure residents or visitors.

Risk Identification How are Risks identified? One method is to classify your risks as the insurance industry does. In order to identify Risks we need an organized method of classifying them. There are different methods but the most common is to classify them in the same manner as the insurance industry does.

Insurance Approach Insurers use different categories for ease of understanding Makes sure nothing is missed Has the advantage of relating risks to insurance coverages In order to identify your risks we need an organized method of classifying them. There are different methods but the most common is to classify them in the same manner as the insurance industry does. Insurance people are very cautious and want to make sure nothing gets missed – this approach helps with that goal. Another big advantage - its easier to relate risks to insurance coverages. Insurance is one way of transferring a risk that could hamper your efforts to attain some of your goals.

Risk Identification Categories Here are the major categories used. Review the boxes and comment briefly. Lets take a brief look at each category.

Property & Income Risks Fire, vandalism, theft, windstorm, flood, etc. damage to buildings or equipment Loss of income resulting from the damage Contingent exposures (extra costs or loss of income resulting from damage to property of others) Solutions: Education, Loss Controls, Insurance

Automobile Risks Owned Vehicle Exposures Your liability to others from an accident Damages to your vehicle Non-Owned Vehicle Exposures Liability to others from an accident of employee using his/her own car Solutions: Selection, Training, Insurance The likelihood of vehicle accidents can be minimized by selecting qualified personnel and providing the necessary training for the type of vehicle they are to drive. Unfortunately sometimes an accident happens in spite of our best efforts. Automobile legislation varies from province to province so these remarks may be out-of-place in some areas. Non-Owned Automobiles – the employee’s policy provides primary insurance coverage – but, an employer can be called upon to pay if the employee doesn’t have enough insurance to cover all the damages. If an employee drives their own car for a business reason you may be called upon to pay damages if an accident happens.

Crime Risks Employee Dishonesty Burglary, Holdup, Forgery Solutions: Selection, Controls, Insurance

General Liability Risks Negligence You owe a reasonable duty of care to those who enter your lands - especially children Joint & Several Liability You only have to be 1% negligent to end up paying for 100% of a judgment Contractual exposures You can be liable for damages because of what’s in a contract – be careful of what you sign

General Liability Facts Injuries happen where and when no one is looking For every injured child there will be two litigious parents Anything over 2 feet in height is a climbing apparatus for a child Duty owed to children is strict liability. That means the burden of proof switches – you’re presumed guilty and have to prove your innocence.

More General Liability Facts If it moves, it can collide with something If it was constructed, it can break If its a liquid, it can squirt, seep, leak or drown If its a gas, it can escape If its up, it can fall More unfortunate truths.

Absolute General Liability Facts If its alive and under 10 years old, it will be curious and adventurous If its alive and over 10 years old, it will be curious and adventurous Children come in all ages.

Health & Disability Risks Death or Injury to Key Persons at home or while traveling Death or Injury to Others - employees, contract workers Solutions: Separate travel, Cross training, Insurance Workers Compensation pays employee. What about the employer? If the employee is a “key” employee and you can’t find a replacement to carry out the same duties – you may suffer financial losses. Travel considerations: If you have “key” people – do they travel together to meetings or conventions? Consider having them take different cars or airplanes rather than traveling together. Group Benefits, Life Insurance

Insurance Insurance is a major Risk Management tool How do you go about getting it? A well-designed Risk Management Program employs many methods of reducing or eliminating risks. Time doesn’t permit us to cover most risk management procedures. Another seminar being offered covers the subject of loss control – a major Risk Management tool. So I’m going to move right to insurance which is also a major part of a successful risk management program.

Selecting a Broker Decide what you want from a broker Insurance expertise? Risk Management advice? Ask others in your position who they recommend Do they provide sound advice? Ask about the service - Any problems? Have they experienced a claim? What happened? In a specialized area such as First Nations Governments you need to know your broker can deliver broad coverage at a reasonable premium. If your operation has risk management personnel or others who participate in this process you will need a broker who can help analyze and explain insurers or adjusters loss reports and related recommendations – and to review and check them for accuracy. If your account is new to the area of insurance and if you have specialized needs such as loss control services to bring your insurance account up to a certain standard before the regular marketplace will accept the risks you want to transfer - you need a broker that has the experience and the necessary contacts to do that - and who can explain the engineering reports and the consequences associated. - Also look after your more critical insurance needs for the time it takes to get that in place.

Meet with the Selected Broker Meet with the Broker you select. Talk to them about your account. Ask questions. Did what they say make sense? A good Broker will ask what you expect – besides a good price – and they’ll tell you what they can supply!

Tendering your account Get a consultant to help determine priorities, collect data, establish risk management practices, determine insurance needs – can be expensive or Pick one or two brokers who specialize in First Nations Government insurance programs – get them to recommend and price an insurance program tailored to your requirements There are very few brokers able to provide insurance coverage designed for First Nations. Not many insurers offer products to First Nations. One who does is AFN Insurance - through our coast-to-coast network of affiliated brokers.
