As we find ourselves in the middle of the 2024 hurricane season, the importance of preparedness and swift response has never been more apparent. So far, we’ve weathered named storms including Alberto, Beryl, Debby, Ernesto, Francine, and most recently Helene.
Each of these storms has tested our resilience, and as a global claims management company, we’ve risen to the challenge, and supported our clients and their policyholders through every phase of the storm season.
Bringing order to chaos
When the 2024 hurricane season began, we knew the dynamic challenges that lay head. Hurricanes and tropical storms can bring chaos and uncertainty, but our mission is to bring order to that chaos. We are more than just a service provider – we aim to be a partner in planning for the worst and recovering with the best. Our clients can count on us to have a foundation in experience, innovation and a steadfast commitment to being there when it matters most.
Staying informed and prepared
One of the key elements of navigating a hurricane season is staying informed. That’s why we’ve established a dedicated CAT event page, continuously updated in response to any major events. This page has been an essential resource throughout the season, offering real-time information and insights to clients and their policyholders stay ahead of the storm.
When Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the season, made landfall in June, our teams were ready. Coastal Texas bore the brunt of Alberto’s impact, but thanks to our extensive roster of adjusters, particularly our specialized flood team, we were able to respond quickly and effectively. Our readiness is not just about having the right people in place – it’s about equipping those people with dedicated tools and technology to restore order as swiftly as possible.
Leveraging advanced technology for faster recovery
Reliance on cutting-edge technology is essential in today’s world, especially during hurricane season when efficient claims management is critical.

Our AI-powered tools offer real-time insights and accurate damage estimates, significantly speeding up the assessment process.
Advanced data analytics further enhance our capabilities by processing vast amounts of information quickly, delivering actionable insights that facilitate informed decision-making. This technology-driven approach enables us to respond rapidly and accurately, minimizing disruption and helping policyholders get back on their feet sooner.
The importance of communication
Hurricane Beryl was a timely reminder of the critical role communication plays in storm preparedness and response. Effective communication with policyholders is crucial before, during and after a storm. It’s not just about delivering information – it’s about providing reassurance and support when it’s needed most.
Our robust communication platforms enable real-time updates and notifications, keeping policyholders informed throughout the event. Automated systems deliver timely alerts and essential information, while our dedicated support teams are available around the clock to assist with inquiries and provide guidance. This combination of advanced technology and human touch helps policyholders feel supported every step of the way, leading to a positive experience even in the face of adversity.
