CoreLogic said it is expanding its Flood Risk Score and Weather Verification Service for hail into Canada.

The availability of the CoreLogic Flood Risk Score and Weather Verification Service for hail in Canada means insurers and adjusters can more quickly and accurately assess risk in large areas, asserted CoreLogic, the Irvine, Calif.-based property data and analytics firm.

CoreLogic’s Flood Risk Score for Canada is available through RiskMeter Online, and it was developed by scientists who specialize in hydrology and algorithmic-based risk assessments. It provides the analytic capability to help customers identify flood risk for all flood hazard perils (riverine flood, flash flood and coastal flood) across Canada’s 10 provinces and the entire risk spectrum, from small frequent floods to severe and catastrophic events.

The company’s Hail Weather Verification Service for Canada verifies the presence of hail at insured locations, allowing insurers to see the geographic extent during and after a hail event at the national or property level and to receive proactive hail event notifications on impacted policies.
