Following natural catastrophes, immediate relief and recovery is vital for the survival and future economic prosperity of communities in the affected areas.
CAT Protection provides the needed certainty that emergency funding will be distributed within days based on modeled wind speed (and precipitation) for severe storms or on peak spectral acceleration (PSA) and peak ground acceleration (PGA) of an earthquake at the protected location. The time required to prepare a claim and the months of lag time as a result of the claim filing process does not exist with CAT Protection because the determining factor of a payout is based on the presence and intensity of the catastrophe; not loss of life or property. This makes this solution a more immediate and a less complex source of funding than traditional insurance.
Also due to the fact that CAT Protection is not indemnity-based, payouts can be used for any and all purposes. NGOs, charities, foundations, and governments can adjust where to allocate the immediate funding based on their most pressing needs during a time of chaos.
