The AI platform for insuring uncovered flood risk

Floodbase pioneered flood mapping technology that dramatically expands a broker's addressable risk and powers a new category of parametric flood insurance.

Making parametric flood insurance possible

Floodbase is an end-to-end solution enabling  
insurance products for previously uncovered flood risk.

A new category of
flood insurance

Flooding disrupts businesses, decimates revenue, and requires mobilizing people and resources. Both businesses and the public sector are exposed to the full range of loss caused by floods, yet most only purchase property policies that cover damage to physical assets.

Comprehensive flood resilience requires a new category of insurance product that provides holistic protection. By designing products that pay out based on the magnitude of flooding over a large area, Floodbase enables policies that pay out within days of an event and allow the insured to use the proceeds at their discretion. Floodbase has pioneered the science and assembled the carrier panel required to finally enable large-area flood insurance products.

Comprehensive parametric flood data and support

From index design to monitoring and triggering policies, Floodbase’s experts provide ongoing support to underwriters and brokers, ensuring our data is easy to use and tailored to individual location and policy needs.

A Fundamentally Different Approach to Flood Science

“Accurate data is critical for responding to floods as they worsen — and for preparing for life on a warming planet. As lead author, Floodbase co-founder, and Chief Science Officer Dr. Beth Tellman explains, “Using satellite observation data of floods with improved spatial-temporal resolution will help policymakers understand where flood impacts are changing and how best to adapt.”
