Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In South Africa, we’re seeing parts of the country dealing with increasingly severe droughts, while other regions are facing unexpected storms, landslides, and flash floods due to changes in rainfall patterns.When it comes to managing insurance claims during these extreme weather events, insurance companies are up against some serious challenges. These events may be huge in scale, complex, and often hard to predict.
So how does it work? Geospatial solutions tailored for the insurance industry gather real-time weather data from different sources like weather stations and satellites. They overlay this data with information about locations. Insurance providers can analyse this information to figure out weather patterns, track storms, and keep an eye on atmospheric conditions. This helps them make smarter predictions about what’s going to happen in specific areas.
* Managing claims and acting fast – Every weather event is tracked and recorded, including lightning strikes, hailstorms and severe downpours. In the event of a claim, the insurance company has the ability to validate that a particular weather event happened at a specific time and place. This makes it easier for insurers to handle claims.
