CAT alert

Storms soak the Gulf Coast, bring flooding risk 

May 7, 2025
Storms soak the Gulf Coast, bring flooding risk 

The threat of flooding continues to rise along the Gulf Coast as ongoing storms bring excessive rainfall. Storms already brought flash flooding, damaging winds, hail and a tornado to the area from Texas to southwestern Mississippi yesterday. Today, more storms threaten southern Texas, most of Louisiana and parts of Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi along the Gulf Coast. 

Other states are bracing for more storms and rainfall. The South (from Florida to the Carolinas) could see up to 8 inches of rain over the next few days according to AccuWeather, and more storms are headed to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states starting tomorrow. 

When disaster strikes, we’re ready to assist 24/7.

We’ll be there, anywhere, to handle every aspect of a loss. We have all the experts needed to move each claim forward – from loss adjusters and engineering consultants to temporary housing specialists and repair contractors. Whatever the loss and whatever the need, we’ll bring together all the right resources – at the right time – to assess damage, coordinate repairs and resolve claims quickly.

If you have questions, contact our property team. If you need assistance with a claim, assign it to us at [email protected].

End-to-end catastrophe claims support.

The most innovative catastrophe response technology. 

Advanced imagery

Effective CAT claims management starts with a clear understanding of the damage. Our advanced imaging platform combines publicly available street view images with photos of the building taken after the event. By comparing pre- and post-loss conditions, adjusters can more accurately assess the damage and make smarter decisions faster.

Weather and climate data

A CAT event can change in an instant. That’s why we’ve invested in proprietary software that consolidates real-time conditions and climate data —like wind and smoke — from the most trusted weather and mapping information providers. With greater visibility into the latest conditions, adjusters can respond faster and strategically scale their client support when and where it’s needed.

Geospatial data and mapping

When a natural disaster strikes, every moment counts. Our adjusters use advanced mapping models – powered by geospatial data and API technology – to quickly assess property damage and track fire progression. Having direct access to precise satellite and geographic data, like coordinates and property dimensions, helps them verify claims and even begin remote assessments before an evacuated area is reopened.

Local updates

Our adjusters are always equipped with the latest information before arriving at a loss site. As secondary responders, they closely follow all local safety guidelines and use our technology to stay informed on the most recent updates, civil authority notices and evacuation orders. This proactive approach ensures a well-coordinated response from the start.
