ALERT
ALERT™ provides up-to-date information and loss estimates for major catastrophes worldwide.
Obtaining reliable information quickly as an actual catastrophe unfolds has become increasingly important for insurers, reinsurers, and investors. Beginning with Hurricane Hugo in 1989, our ALERT service has expanded to include catastrophic events as they happen globally. ALERT provides the following information, setting it apart from other such services.
