FLOOD INSURANCE

Deep water

Complex and unpredictable, flood hazards have typically been insured only by state or federal agencies and a select few private companies. Today, advanced modeling and data innovation are enabling the emergence of more options for those at risk.

Reducing risk

A growing challenge

As climate change increases flood risk, market response becomes ever more urgent. Combining property insurance ratemaking, advanced underwriting technologies, and pricing and profitability analysis, today’s flood insurance market is advancing toward a brighter future.
