Our Cyber Risk Specialist, Elisabeth Dubois, was recently featured in Forbes in an article highlighting leaders helping to redefine crisis management and resilience.

Elisabeth works closely with NYMIR members on all things cyber—from cybersecurity education and risk management to preparedness, emerging threats, and support for local governments in responding to incidents.

Her work is part of NYMIR’s continued commitment to providing members with the resources, expertise, and support they need to navigate an evolving cyber risk landscape.

Congratulations, Elisabeth, on the recognition!

And stay tuned—we have a packed Cybersecurity Awareness Month calendar coming this October, with plenty of opportunities for NYMIR members to learn, prepare, and strengthen their cyber resilience.

Environmental and infrastructure crises are hitting harder and faster than legacy systems were designed to handle.

Heavy rainfall has led to localized flooding and flash flood conditions in parts of New York. Municipalities should document any storm-related damage and report losses as soon as possible.

✅ Notify your broker and NYMIR immediately of any losses
✅ Take photos and videos before cleanup begins
✅ Save all receipts and claim-related documentation
✅ Retain insurance records that may be required for FEMA assistance.

Significant storm damage could make municipalities eligible for FEMA aid. Accurate and timely reporting is critical to support recovery efforts.

NYMIR is here to support our members before, during, and after severe weather events.
