COVID-19 is affecting the entire world, and at LGIS we want to give our members access to as much information as possible about the pandemic and how organisations can respond.
LGIS is now able to give members of the WA Local Government Insurance Scheme access to the Marsh Pandemic Risk Hub. It's one of the benefits that members receive because LGIS is managed by JLT Public Sector, which is a part of the Marsh group of companies. Marsh is a global leader in risk financing and management.
The Marsh Pandemic Hub is a resource centre that offers insights, guidance and information to help members stay informed on what this global pandemic means for their local government.
LGIS Local government experts have analysed the information on the Pandemic Hub and recommend the following articles to members:
