AZ and SC
Added to Responding Fire District Report |
|
CDS has just added Arizona and South Carolina to its
Responding Fire District Report. This report now provides
coverage for ten states, including: AZ, CA, FL, HI, IL, KS,
MS, ND, SC and VA.
How will this report benefit users?
In order to
accurately price a policy for fire, underwriters must refer to
their ppo manual to get a rating. Unfortunately, a community
name is needed to assign a rating. If underwriters don't have
this information, they are forced to flip through paper based
maps in order to find the community name. This can be a very
time consuming and error prone process. That's why the
RiskMeter Online developed its Responding Fire District
Report. By simply typing in an address, users can get the
community name in a matter of minutes. For more information,
please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

Storm Surge
Data Coming Soon to the RiskMeter |
|
CDS is working to add storm surge data to the RiskMeter
Online. This report will identify areas likely to be flooded
during hurricanes. Our storm surge maps are based upon the
well known and respected SLOSH (Sea,
Lake, and Overland
Surges from Hurricanes) storm
surge model. This report will let you know if a property falls
within an area likely to flood from a hurricane of a specific
strength (category 1-5), as well as the estimated maximum
storm surge height for each category of storm.
How will this help users?
RiskMeter's storm
surge report is the perfect tool for insurers who are looking
to gain a better understanding of their coastal flood
exposure. Although flood maps approximate storm surge levels,
these storm surge maps are more detailed, and provide a more
realistic assessment of coastal flooding. Post Katrina
insurers have a heightened sense of concern with respect to
coastal flooding. Although technically storm surge is not
covered under many homeowners' policies, this assumption is
currently being challenged in court. Insurers would like to
know if a policy might be subject to flood claims, even if
they aren't covered. Carriers writing excess flood, business
interruption, BOP's, commercial property and coastal
homeowners can all benefit from this report.
For more
information about this report, please contact Daniel Munson at
617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

Probable
Maximum Loss and Average Annual Loss
Estimates |
|
CDS is looking to expand our earthquake and coastal
exposure reports to include Average Annual Loss and Probable
Maximum Loss estimates on a per location basis. Users will be
able to get an estimated monetary value for a worst case
scenario (Probable Maximum Loss) and an annual loss scenario
(Average Annual Loss) for new and existing policies. We feel
these new features will help users to gain a better
understanding their risks, as well as provide a valuable tool
for minimizing risk exposure.
CDS is looking for
companies interested in this information to help us to design
our new reports. If you think this report would be useful to
your company, please let us know by contacting Dan Munson at
617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com

Custom
Mapping Projects |
|
Did you know the RiskMeter Online is just one of the
services CDS Business Mapping offers? Since 1994 CDS has
provided custom mapping projects for many of the leading
insurance, real-estate, banking, telecommunications,
healthcare, sales and marketing organizations. Below are a few
examples of some of the insurance related mapping projects we
have done.
Concentration Maps - Understand where your exposure
lies! We can take your book of business and create a custom
map to show you how much risk exposure you have in areas, such
as: states, cities, counties, etc. In addition, these maps can
be used for calculating premium taxes or we can overlay your
policies on fire perimeters, which will give you a better idea
about incoming claims.
Custom Shoreline Maps - CDS can give you our
shoreline maps and let you edit them to meet your underwriting
requirements. Once this is done, we can load these onto your
RiskMeter account. This will allow your underwriters and
agents to know immediately whether a new piece of business
should be written or not!
Aggregate Mapping - Limit your terrorist, hurricane,
wildfire and flood losses before the next disaster strikes!
CDS can take your book of business, map it, then load it onto
the RiskMeter. Once this is done, users can pull up how many
policies have been written in a certain area and their dollar
amounts. This report is perfect for insurers who are looking
to implement underwriting guidelines.
For more information about our mapping capabilities, please
contact Dan Munson, VP of Sales & Marketing at
617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com
