Weather analytics

Respond & Respond MAP

Weather is the one thing in claims nobody controls. Respond makes it something you can plan for. Near real-time analytics built from weather radar, model data, and proprietary peril algorithms guide disaster preparation, response, and recovery. And Respond MAP puts it all on an interactive map, against your book.

Capabilities

Decisions before, during, and after the event

Readiness before landfall, loss estimates within hours after, and event-level intelligence for as long as recovery takes.

Loss estimates within hours

IBNR analysis estimates affected policies within hours of an event. Leadership sees the size of the storm before the first adjuster does.

Five days of warning

Hurricane damage forecasts up to five days before landfall, updated multiple times a day as the storm approaches, so cat teams stage people and partners ahead of the event.

Treaty and cat recovery

Pin down the true date of loss and whether it belongs to a cat event. Insurers have identified millions of dollars in additional catastrophe recoveries with Respond.

Policy impact alerts

Storm severity crossed with your policies in force: detailed loss volume and coverage exposure across residential and commercial, peril by peril.

Respond MAP: see it spatially

An interactive GIS visualization and analytics platform: evaluate, understand, and respond to every significant weather event with your exposure on the map.

Demand forecasting beyond claims

Manufacturers, distributors, and contractors correlate each storm's damage severity to local inventory needs, down to the neighborhood.

Peril analytics

Science for every major peril

Proprietary peril models go deeper than the radar loop on the news: signals built to predict claims, not just describe weather.

Hail

Hail Impact Energy quantifies what the stones actually did at ground level: a stronger claims predictor than hail size alone.

Wind

Straight-line wind speeds and gusts across the full footprint of the event.

Tornado

Tornado Probability gives a first indication of where a tornado touched down, and how likely a given area was hit.

Hurricane

Five-day forecasts before landfall, updated multiple times daily, and observed conditions after.

Wildfire

Fire extent and intensity for the losses in and around the burn.

Smoke

A proprietary analysis of smoke intensity, extent, and duration at ground level.

Freeze

Freeze conditions behind burst pipes and other deep-cold losses.

Snowfall

Snow accumulation behind roof-load and winter-storm claims.

Rainfall

Rainfall totals behind water intrusion and flash-flood losses.

Earthquake

Ground-shaking extent and intensity where your policies sit.

A broad spectrum of uses

One event, three conversations

When a single hail storm around Columbia, South Carolina damaged some 8,000 homes, Respond had it sized within hours. Catastrophe or not, the same analytics serve three different rooms.

Operational response

Align staffing with demand, place adjusters where the damage is, assign claims by experience, and validate the date of loss on every file.

Financial reporting

Sharpen early-stage bulk reserves, improve catastrophe classification and recovery, and set reserves with predictive modeling instead of guesswork.

Fraud management

Detect claim patterns that don't match what the weather actually did, and escalate them to SIU personnel when warranted.

Where it fits

Respond in the claims lifecycle

First notice of loss
Assign & triage
Inspect & estimate
Quality assure
Collaborate & settle
Restore & learn

Respond works ahead of the claim (readiness before landfall, loss estimates within hours after) so leadership can manage the event as a whole while adjusters work the individual claims. It's the core suite's early-warning system: the claim's story starts before the first call.
