  • In October 2024, Amwins and Floodbase introduced a pioneering flood insurance program for California cities with the support of an A+ AM-rated carrier. The program is designed to ensure against newly exposed losses as a result of atmospheric river flooding, allowing immediate access to capital for municipal governments to pay for emergency response, mitigate lost tax revenue, initiate residential rebuilding initiatives, or fix public infrastructure. The project has already accumulated bound coverage from California public sector clients, countering the increasing cost of atmospheric river flooding.
  • In November 2024, Aon plc confirmed its Florida Flood v3.0 model in November 2024, which analyzes flood exposure in Florida for re/reinsurers' use in rate filing. The model, built by Impact Forecasting with the assistance of Fathom, enables clients to estimate flood risk from tropical and non-tropical weather systems on all three flood sub-perils: riverine (fluvial), surface (pluvial) flooding, and tropical cyclone storm surge. The model is offered within Impact Forecasting's ELEMENTS 18 catastrophe modeling platform and includes high-resolution hazard footprints, annual average loss estimates, first-floor building height calculations, and a shared stochastic and historical catalog.
