With the insurance industry hugely affected by weather, the need to be aware of past and future severe weather events is critical for accurate claims handling and effective customer service. The Met Office provides services specially designed for insurers that can help reduce claims leakage levels and improve the efficiency of your overall claims-handling process and resource planning activities. |
| We can offer postcoded,
past weather information to help with claims management and
reduce claims leakage costs. This innovative service has been
designed to match the weather data needs of the insurance industry,
helping to resolve claims quickly and efficiently. Access to the National Meteorological
Archive allows quick access to past weather data - we're also
working with insurance companies worldwide to include weather
hazards in their risk assessment models. |
Be one step ahead
of your competitors and customers: we can supply advance forecasts
of severe weather that may lead to high levels of claims, allowing
you to take pre-emptive action. We can supply these direct to
your operations centre. The Met Office Rainfall and
Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) provides real-time assessments
of rainfall, evaporation and soil moisture for multiple areas
across the UK. It can help you assess and monitor the scale
of historical subsidence claims. |
This is a specialised
service designed to establish the correlation between weather
and your business performance. It considers factors such as
call-centre volumes and claimant patterns during extreme weather. Through understanding your business, climate models and data are tailored to answer your key operational and strategic questions. Our world-leading science capability is dedicated to reducing your risks and your exposure to climate change. |
