The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) has created this website as a resource for industry professionals to learn more about climate change and its possible implications for the property/casualty industry.

Founded in 1895, NAMIC is a full-service national property/casualty trade association with more than 1,400 member companies that underwrite more than 40 percent of the property/casualty insurance premium in the United States. NAMIC members are small farm mutual companies, state and regional insurance companies, risk retention groups, national writers, reinsurance companies, and international insurance giants. NAMIC is located in Indianapolis, Ind.
