🚨 Breaking new ground in risk & resilience 🚨 Willis is proud to launch a market‑first parametric insurance policy that gets triggered not by the physical damage from extreme weather, but by red weather warnings issued by Met Office or Met Éireann. Learn more > https://ow.ly/9vR250X6b1b 🔍 Key highlights: • If a red warning is issued (for e.g. extreme wind, heavy rain, snow or ice), the policy automatically activates—even before the weather event materialises. • The insured receives a pre‑agreed payout to cover lost revenue or operational costs, even if the forecasted extreme weather doesn’t fully manifest. • This solves a common protection gap: traditional policies don’t account for precautionary costs (like shutting down operations in advance). • Developed in collaboration with Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, this policy offers transparency, fast settlement, and flexibility in how proceeds are used. As Claire Wilkinson (MD, Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions, Willis) puts it: “By triggering the parametric policy on the forecast rather than the event, the insured receives … cover … even if the event does not manifest itself as was forecast.” For sectors like hospitality, where cancellations and early closures from weather alerts are costly, this is a game changer. Get in contact with us today to learn more about this solution. #WeatherWarning #Risk #Insurance #Willis #Innovation #Parametric
