How it works
How it works
FlatCat Canada is an encrypted flat-file database requiring IT capabilities to incorporate it into your system. Using Verisk’s secure FTP servers, FlatCat Canada provides a daily data file that includes:
- catastrophe serial numbers
- dates of occurrence
- provinces affected
- types of catastrophes and perils
- all loss estimates from preliminary to final (estimated payment, average payment, number of claims, total dollars)
Our staff will coordinate with your IT personnel to implement a daily download. Once the updates to your system are in place, the process works automatically. The data you download is always secure, as we support PGP and FTP.
