Hurricane

Hurricane risk, simplified: wind-speed triggers, radius bands, rapid liquidity—designed to buy down deductibles or deliver cash fast after landfall.

Hurricanes and large-scale wind events drive some of the biggest catastrophe losses—and traditional cover can be hard to price or slow to settle. A parametric hurricane policy links payout to objective storm metrics rather than lengthy loss adjustment, providing affordable structures to complement or replace indemnity insurance.

Instead of proving severity, causation and loss size, you pre-agree a weather-based deductible and trigger using a “cat in a circle” structure: if sustained winds from a named storm meet the contracted category threshold within defined distance bands of your site, the policy pays automatically. Payouts scale by intensity (storm category) and proximity (e.g., <50 km vs. 50–100 km).

Ground-up cover means no financial deductible—if thresholds are met and you suffer a financial loss, the structure responds. Settlement is rapid, relying on publicly available wind/track data; valid claims are typically settled within ~21 days of the event/expiry. Use it to buy down high deductibles, top up limits, or secure fast disaster relief.

Why Our Parametric Hurricane Cover?

Objective triggers, clear outcomes

  • Cat-in-a-circle trigger: Payouts reference sustained wind category and distance bands around your coordinates.
  • Ground-up protection: No financial deductible; if thresholds are met and you incur a loss, the policy pays.
  • Fast settlement: Uses publicly available hurricane data; claims are typically settled within ~21 days.

Built to reduce volatility and free up liquidity precisely when operations need it most.

How It Works

  1. Define the circle: Set the site coordinates and radius bands (e.g., <50 km; 50–100 km).
  2. Select intensity thresholds: Choose hurricane categories that matter (e.g., Cat 3–5 based on sustained wind).
  3. Map payout levels: Pre-agree payout percentages that scale by category and distance band—higher for stronger storms closer to site.
  4. Bind and monitor: During the policy period (annual or hurricane season), if a named storm meets the trigger, payout is made up to the agreed cap.

All mechanics—categories (10-min sustained wind), radius bands and payout schedule—are written into the policy.

Key Policy Parameters

These elements define how your hurricane cover behaves and how payouts are calculated:

  • Period: Annual term or the local hurricane season window.
  • Location: Registered address and latitude/longitude of each site (multi-site portfolios supported).
  • Trigger Structure: Category thresholds (10-min sustained wind) combined with distance bands around the site.
  • Weather-Based Deductible/Excess: A deductible expressed in storm intensity/proximity—not a financial deductible.
  • Payout Schedule: Pre-agreed percentages by category and radius; aggregate cap/maximum limit applies.
  • Data Source: Publicly available hurricane track and wind data named in the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear triggers, fast liquidity, flexible use cases—here are common questions:

Questions
Is physical damage required for payout?

No. If the weather thresholds are met within the agreed circle and you sustain a financial loss, the structure pays according to the schedule.

How quickly are claims settled?

Because settlement relies on publicly available data rather than loss adjusting, valid claims are normally settled within ~21 days of event/expiry.

Can it replace or sit alongside indemnity insurance?

Both. Use it to reduce or remove a traditional deductible, top up limits, or obtain rapid disaster relief.

What information do you need to quote?

1) Site locations (addresses + lat/long), 2) loss history for the peril to cross-correlate with past tracks, 3) budget guidance, 4) preferred structure (how you want wind intensity/proximity to map to payout), 5) policy period.
