How industries can stay ahead of hurricane risk

Insurance and reinsurance

Underwriting teams can use hurricane track history to reprice coastal and inland exposure that legacy cat models have systematically undervalued, particularly in flood-adjacent geographies where coverage gaps are largest.

Parametric insurance and insurtech

Parametric hurricane products require objective, timestamped event triggers: a named storm crossing a defined coordinate at a defined intensity. Ambee's event-level hurricane data provides clean, auditable records that remove the claims adjustment delay and make automatic payouts structurally possible.

Logistics and supply chain

A hurricane's hazard window opens days before landfall and extends hundreds of miles inland. Real-time track and intensity data let logistics operations reroute shipments and pre-position inventory away from landfall corridors.

Retail and consumer goods

As a storm approaches, batteries, water, generators, and boarding materials clear shelves within 48 hours. Retailers and CPG brands can use track and intensity forecasts to trigger inventory deployment.

Pharma and healthcare

Hurricane Helene's 2024 flooding temporarily shut down a Baxter International plant that produced a major portion of the nation's IV fluids. Pharmaceutical supply chain teams can use hurricane track data to flag manufacturing and distribution nodes in active storm areas.
