- Abstract
The article evaluates the role of the U.S. government in proposing ex post compensation to disaster victims on the basis of ad hoc as a mode of insurance against catastrophic incidents. It presents information on the types of government intervention that encourage insurability of catastrophic risks and evaluate such forms of intervention from a law, health and economics point of view. It further analyses and compares several cases wherein the government's insurability intervention is accentuated in cases of both terrorism and natural disasters.
