Respond’s precision analysis helps improve:

Determine if a weather event warrants a catastrophe response and quickly assess storm severity, the number of claims adjusters and third party adjusters needed, and at what locations they’re needed most.

Determine the accurate date of loss and whether a loss was part of a catastrophe event. Insurance companies have identified millions of dollars of additional catastrophe recoveries or classified losses using Respond.

Contact policy holders quickly after an event. Screen claims and identify potential fraud.

Estimate affected policies within hours of an event and the volume of claims incurred but not reported.

Improve predictive modeling for claims volume and pace. Verisk's analysts can work with your team to use our proprietary algorithms and cross-industry data to predict the effect of a storm in the context of your book of business. We can provide expert interpretation and commentary on the analysis.
