Insurance vs The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
Manage episode 316527607 series 2951754
Welcome to the Insurance vs History Podcast! In my fourth episode, I investigate how insurance saved San Francisco after the Great earthquake—or the Great Fire, depending on who you ask--almost destroyed the city entirely. Join me to learn about mitigating risk through policy wording, the concept of “directly or indirectly”, and why building a city by creating land from the bay was a terrible idea.
