Preparing for a whirlwind of claims
admin
/

With June 1st marking the official start of hurricane season, just like you, Guardian Group is preparing for a busy CAT quarter. All eyes are currently on a Caribbean disturbance, but this one is expected to dissipate, and no recognized authorities are pegging the storm’s chances of developing into something greater at more than 20%. Whew… at least for now, at least for that one.

Meanwhile, forecasts by the NOAA and other experts predict a season of above average intensity, but fortunately not as severe as last year. 30 years’ data indicates that an average year would include 14 named storms, with 7 of those growing in strength to become full-fledged hurricanes and 3 of that 7 developing into major ones.

For this year’s Hurricane/CAT season, NOAA expects 30 named storms, with 13-20 in the Atlantic basin and 12 making landfall. Meanwhile, AccuWeather predicts 7-10 U.S. storms, Colorado State University predicts 8, and The Weather Channel predicts 8 hurricanes, with 4 of those constituting major force and impact.

For your records (and your naming curiosity!), here’s the current list of already-named 2021 storms – as you’ve likely heard, the use of the Greek alphabet has been discontinued.

Today, more than ever, those in the property insurance business need a professional forensic engineering company standing at the ready. Guardian Group, Inc.’s Catastrophe Response Team supports you in the following ways:

RESIDENTIAL CAT CLAIMS

Complex engineering, high-volume residential catastrophe claims require both rapid dispatch and rapid reporting. Working with Guardian means both increased confidence in the scientific findings of our investigations and increased service to your insureds.
