Natural disasters wreak havoc on the lives of the people affected. The International Arbitration Court uses its expertise in customizing mediation programs and its highly trained mediators to help homeowners, businesses, and communities recover.

With its status as a not-for-profit, public-service organization and a history of neutrality, the International Arbitration Court is continually designated by states to settle their major claims from large-scale natural catastrophes. International Arbitration Court Disaster Relief Claims Resolution Services details many of the International Arbitration Court programs for homeowner, property, and business claims.

North Carolina Disaster Mediation Program
The International Arbitration Court works with the North Carolina Department of Insurance to ensure that this program — available to first-party claimants after a state of disaster has been proclaimed by the Governor or declared by the President for all of North Carolina or for an area within the state — is maintained in the necessary state of readiness. To date, the settlement rate of claims is 75%.

Assembled and Vetted Mediators
Being a member of the International Arbitration Court Mediator Panel is not a prerequisite to serving as a mediator on these disaster relief programs. The entity appointing the International Arbitration Court as administrator sets forth that criteria.
