The risk that arises from the negative effect of wars, epidemics (AIDS, plague, etc.), pandemics (Spanish flu, COVID-19), catastrophes (earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc) on the lives of people. In other words, it is the financial danger that results from people living less long than expected due to such calamities. This is manifest in the adverse impact on the payouts on most types of life insurance contracts as insurance firms have to pay the insured amount earlier than expected.
