Parametric Storm Surge Insurance for Hurricanes

A program covering direct and indirect losses for U.S. coastal corporations

DEVELOPED With
Sectors impacted by Hurricane Irma storm surge

A parametric storm surge solution to bolster U.S.
hurricane resilience

Constrained capacity and coverage gaps in
traditional and non-traditional insurance policies
leave coastal corporate clients with flood insurance
that is expensive, unresponsive, and insufficient.

Property policies are not designed to cover indirect
flood loss
Limited capacity and increasing hurricane frequency
leave clients with less coverage that’s more expensive
Traditional flood coverage has significant exclusions
READ THE PRESS RELEASE

Floodbase enables brokers to cover previously uninsurable losses

Fill gaps by covering indirect loss

Cover both direct and indirect surge-driven loss over large areas.

Secure additional flood coverage

Access standalone storm surge coverage independent of your P&C tower or buy down a deductible.

Quick payouts without exclusions

Rapid payouts within weeks of a flood can be used at the insured’s discretion for any loss driven by storm surge. No complex claims process needed.

How it Works

The insured area is defined by a boundary surrounding a client’s location
0 feet
During a named storm, average storm surge height is assessed continuously within this boundary
0.87 feet
When average storm surge height exceeds a predefined threshold, a payout is triggered
Payout  triggered
4.5 feet
With this innovative solution we can better assist corporations in exposed areas with a rapidly-paying cover that fits their individual risk management strategies."
