Obtaining insurance to protect against losses due to bad weather conditions is a strategy of risk sharing. Risk sharing involves transferring a portion of the risk to another party, often through mechanisms like insurance, hedging, or outsourcing. By obtaining insurance, an organization transfers the financial impact of adverse weather conditions to the insurer, thereby sharing the risk.
Risk avoidance (A) involves eliminating the risk entirely by not engaging in the activity that generates the risk.
Risk reduction (B) refers to actions taken to decrease the likelihood or impact of the risk. Risk acceptance (C) means acknowledging the risk and deciding to bear the consequences without taking steps to mitigate it.
