Summer. It brings to mind pleasing images of bright sunshine, beaches, pools, backyard cookouts, watermelon, vacation travel, ice cream, high temperatures and refreshing lemonade, among others. The hazards of summer include heat stroke, drowning, sunburn, bug bites, and food poisoning as food spoils faster in the heat. Protecting yourself from these and other hazards takes a few precautions.

Protecting your home is a little more complicated but not overwhelming. AIG has prepared a short list of steps towards protecting your home during summer months and beyond. Feel free to share these helpful tips with your clients

Water safety

  • If you have a pool, restrict access to the area with a gate or doors that automatically lock. Have your gate locks checked annually to ensure they are working properly.
  • For added safety, especially if there are young children at home, equip the door/gate with an alarm or sensors at the pool.
  • Consider a rolling pool cover, which can provide even more protection than a gate or fence.
  • If you are entertaining at your pool or on a lake, consider hiring a lifeguard to ensure someone is always watching those in the water.
  • Elaborate pool areas with rock formations and slides can enhance the risk for injury. Be sure areas are properly secured or restricted when needed.
Traveling
  • Don't post on social media that you are leaving town, and wait to post photos until after you return.
  • If you will be gone for an extended period of time, ask a private staff member, friend or neighbor to keep an eye on your home and have your mail held at the local post office.
  • Put lights on timers to give the impression that someone is home.
Fire prevention
  • If your grill or outdoor kitchen is near your home or on a deck/porch attached to your home, it should be equipped with an automatic shutoff device. These devices have a timer installed in the gas supply line that automatically shuts off the gas supply after a predetermined length of time.
  • Never use chimineas or fire pits on decks, gazebos, covered patios or anywhere there are overhangs. They should be located at least 15 feet away from any structure.
General home maintenance
  • When cleaning gutters and roofs, remove debris and check for winter damage that should be repaired.
  • Make sure trees on your property are healthy to avoid toppling onto your home during high winds.
  • If you live in a wildfire-prone area, remove all dead materials from trees/bushes/landscaping to eliminate fuels in the wildfire, and keep grass areas short.

Uncovering the Two for Tuesday Archive

There were over two dozen major libraries in the city of Rome during the imperial period, but the capital wasn't the only place that housed dazzling collections of literature. Sometime around 120 A.D., Gaius Julius Aquila, the son of the Roman consul Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, completed a memorial library to his father in the city of Ephesus (modern day Turkey). The building's ornate façade still stands today and features a marble stairway and columns as well as four statues representing Wisdom, Virtue, Intelligence and Knowledge. Its interior, meanwhile, consisted of a rectangular chamber and a series of small niches containing bookcases. The library may have held some 12,000 scrolls, but it most striking feature was no doubt Celsus himself, who was buried inside in an ornamental sarcophagus.

Since our own little library of past Two for Tuesday articles is electronic, you won’t need a plane ticket to visit it—it’s all housed online. The yearly Two for Tuesday Archive is is organized by subject. Compare it to the archive listings under BIM or the Archive link at the bottom of every Two for Tuesday. Those are organized by publication date.

NEW ISO Personal Auto Policy Change

NEW Lightning Learning for September
Big "I" Virtual University
Date: Wednesday, September 12
Time: 1:00 - 2:30pm EDT
Cost: $49 (includes live presentation, recording and written transcript)
 
Summary:
Insurance Services Office (ISO) filed 30 changes to its personal auto program to be effective September 1, 2018. Nine changes are being made to the base PAP form itself and 21 endorsements were either revised, removed, or created.

Exclusions previously requiring the attachment of three endorsements are now included in the base PAP.

In this session, we will review the purpose of certificates (old information), answer the 21 (probably more) most common questions we receive, and will explore some of the more unusual questions we've heard as well.

Additionally, this filing:
  • Introduces seven new optional endorsements;
  • Inserts a brand new, seemingly ridiculous exclusion into the base PAP;
  • Kills off five endorsements:
  • Revises 12 endorsements; and
  • Makes various changes to the policy form and endorsements.
Don't miss this overview of the major additions, deletions, and revisions you need to understand in order to advise your clients.Please send any questions to VU staff. Review all VU education offerings here.

Summary:
The VU's September Lightning Learning series features three 20-minute sessions dedicated to OCP, MCS-90, and liquor liability Even if you can't participate in the live sessions, you will receive a link to the on-demand recordings and can listen to them at your leisure. Register once and attend:
  • September 6 - " September 6 - Is an OCP Worth the Premium
    An OCP is not equivalent to the CGL; its closest comparison is the coverage granted to only the additional insured when the CG 20 10 Additional Insured - Owners, Lessees or Contractors endorsement is attached to the CGL. But even coverage extended to the additional insured by the CG 20 10 is broader than the coverage offered by the OCP. There are major gaps in the OCP leading to the question, is an OCP worth the premium?
  • September 18 - Is the MCS-90 Broader Than the BAP
    The MCS-90 was designed to assure that an at-fault "for-hire" or public motor carrier could fulfill its financial responsibility to the public, regardless of the insured's failure to comply with the underlying insurance policy's terms and/or conditions. But it was not designed or intended to extend insurance protection to non-insureds or create coverage where none existed. This session reviews the MCS-90 and how it might be misapplied.
  • September 27 - Understanding Liquor Liability Laws and Coverage
    Operations serving or supplying alcohol can be subject to charges of negligence when, for example, a patron or third party is injured as a result of the negligent service of alcohol or negligence in not preventing an individual from injuring a third party. Legal liability can also arise out of other negligent actions or inactions. This session will introduce various types of laws, staff training option and the availability of liquor liability coverage.
Consider presenting conference style for the entire agency to benefit. Please send any questions to VU staff.
