In my recent posts, I have demonstrated how deploying Mapping Technology can be useful for Logistics Planning and for Shortlisting Suitable Locations purposes. In this post, I will add another workflow to the list - how Property Insurers can assess the Environmental Risk affecting their portfolio.

A Property Insurer wishes to assess its Claims liability from its customer portfolio in the state of Florida in USA. Just as West Bengal and Orissa in India are prone to Cyclones, Florida is also routinely ravaged by the same, albeit known by a different name - Hurricanes. Since such tropical storms inflict significant damage to property, it would be beneficial for the insurer to raise the insurance premiums for those customers whose property insured has the highest risk of being damaged by Hurricanes in the future.

Location Intelligence for Risk Management purposes is invaluable, potentially even to your organization.
