The past two years have shaken the historical assumptions underpinning insurance and business models. The "Great Recession" has exposed underlying issues within the P&C insurance industry which are contributing to a lack of underwriting profitability which has proliferated in the industry for over 25 years, accumulating a deficit of almost half a trillion dollars at the top as highlighted by the Insurance Information Institute (III).
This new normal requires a new path forward. A truly new path must employ a modern, functionally-rich policy management solution to enable four key business transformation areas:
1. Customer centricity, expectations and insight
2. Innovative and rapid product development
3. New distribution channels
4. Underwriting and service excellence

Boston, MA, November 2011 – CDS Business Mapping, LLC., a leader in online hazard mapping, today announced it has added a new Straight Line Wind Report to its RiskMeter.com service. Straight line winds (also known as thundergusts or hurricanes of the prairie) are produced by the downward momentum in the downdraft region of thunderstorms.  These events have been known to produce winds that reach 100 mph or more and can cause damage equivalent to a tornado. 

RiskMeter’s Straight Line Wind Report gauges the potential for damage to any location in the Continental US and is based on National Climatic Data Center data. By simply typing in an address, users can get the frequency of straight line wind events, percentile score which compares the address entered to the rest of the US, average number of straight line wind events for an area and a straight line wind risk score.

“Severe thunderstorms (Hail, Tornadoes and Straight Line Winds) cause billions of dollars in insurance losses each year, said Daniel Munson, Founder, RiskMeter Online.  “The addition of a Straight Line Wind Report to our service means users can leverage this with our existing Hail & Tornado reports to gain a much clearer picture of severe thunderstorm risk, enabling them to assess and price risk more accurately.” For more information about this report, please contact Daniel Munson, Founder, RiskMeter Online at 617.737.4444 or dmunson@cdsys.com
