Its object is contained in its full title: Mission of insurance companies for the knowledge and prevention of natural risks . For the insurance profession, it is indeed a question of contributing to a better knowledge of natural risks and of making a technical contribution to prevention policies. Relying on a team of six collaborators, the MRN deploys its activities in three directions: 1. institutional activities : the association constitutes the technical interface between the insurance profession and the various stakeholders in natural risk management. As such, among others, it: is involved in the work of central administrations and decentralized services, relying in particular on a network of departmental correspondents ; supports the State services, the communities and their groups within the framework of partnerships , for their study projects as well as their actions to raise awareness about prevention; contributes to the reflections of various associations and research networks revolving around the theme of natural risk management, in particular through its participation in conferences and events ; performs a watch on foreign practices and demonstrates, in international bodies, the French experience; publishes a newsletter .
