The Calm Before the Storm Is the Time to Consider Insurance Coverage
There were no major hurricanes in 2013. Although the season was projected to be above average in terms of activity, this was the first Atlantic hurricane season without a major storm event through the month of November in over a decade.

And when they strike, these events, like other natural disasters, frequently cause widespread destruction of property, and major business interruption. Moreover, in an increasingly global economy in which virtually all organizations are part of, and dependent upon, product and service supply chains, disruptions caused by major storm events worldwide can and do cause a cascading and adverse impact on organizations throughout the supply chain.

This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
