On the Radar

Riots & Disaster Relief

Small business owners in more than 20 states have seen their operations impeded by the coronavirus pandemic—but also by civil unrest. Rioters have exploited anti-police brutality protests to loot, damage, and destroy numerous businesses. 

The Insurance Information Institute estimates the losses from the 2020 civil unrest will set a new record, surpassing the $1.4 billion (adjusted) in insured losses from the 1992 Rodney King riots.

Not all small business owners have property insurance, and some policies only cover a fraction of the cost of demolishing structures that have been damaged beyond repair. Additionally, small businesses may have to pay higher insurance premiums after making a claim for damages, which means they’ll have to either charge customers more, employ fewer workers, or otherwise scale back.  

Do you support allowing small businesses harmed by riots to get access to disaster relief?

And, in the End...

On this date in 1783, the Revolutionary War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.

Make peace with your enemy today,
