Descartes invites you to their event

Addressing Hurricane Risk with Parametric Insurance

About this event

Traditional insurance is often too slow or too limited when a major hurricane hits. Between high deductibles and lengthy loss adjustments, many organizations face a dangerous liquidity gap exactly when they need cash most.

Parametric insurance changes the timeline.

Join us for a 45-minute deep dive into how trigger-based payouts can complement traditional towers and provide immediate certainty in the face of climate volatility.

What we’ll cover:

  • The Liquidity Gap: Why traditional coverage falls short during CAT events.
  • Speed of Pay: How parametric triggers work and why they pay out in days, not months (or even years).
  • Real-World Use Cases: Key industries utilizing these structures today.
  • 2026 Trends: What to expect for the upcoming hurricane season.

Our panel—Tyler, Jimmy, and Conor—will share practical insights on integrating these solutions into your clients' risk portfolios.
