Information
Extreme weather, particularly flooding, is putting growing pressure on property claims teams to deliver faster, more accurate support to customers. But verifying loss, prioritising resources, and communicating with policyholders during large-scale events remains a challenge, especially when on-the-ground access is limited.
This session takes a practical look at how real-time satellite data is already helping insurers improve triage and response during major events like floods. Using relatable examples from around the world, we’ll explore how geospatial insights are being applied to UK-style risks, helping claims teams move from “wait and see” to “know and act.”
- How SAR satellite technology works and why it’s different from traditional imagery
- Real-world examples of insurers using satellite data to assess flood impact
- Lessons learned from global flood events relevant to UK insurers
- How geospatial data applies to UK property risks, including urban and coastal areas
- Practical steps to start using satellite data in claims operations today
