Assuring and Enduring tells of Civic Assurance's steady development as New Zealand's local government insurer of recourse and a financial services provider - interspersed with sections that describe the challenges local government faces through earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and volcanoes. A special chapter relates the effects of the Christchurch earthquake, which has resulted in the largest claim made on Civic Assurance. Told in an accessible style and accompanied by plentiful illustrations, this is a success story of a company that has truly stood the test of time and disaster.
