Defending the airports from terrorist attacksIronshore added a crisis management coverage feature/extension to its Terrorism & Sabotage program.

The Terrorism Crisis Threesixty endorsement comes with no additional cost, for all in-force stand-alone Terrorism policies. Ironshore designed it as an automatic extension that offers insureds access to crisis response specialists after U.S. incidents involving terrorism or an “active shooter event.”

As structured, Terrorism Crisis Threesixty offers third party reimbursement for crisis management services and fees, with limits of up to $100,000 per occurrence.

Crisis management services can include on-site control and containment, counseling services, internal and external communications, and timely response to national media coverage. On the active shooter side, cover will protect against losses relating to property damage and business interruption, including denial of access. There’s also liability cover.
