Storm track and intensity forecasting continues to improve and provides our Aon Edge leadership team with the ability to prepare for potential claims. When we see an impending event, such as a lake over flowing in New York, rapid snowmelt in the Midwest, or a hurricane in the Gulf, our Aon Edge Catastrophe (CAT) Team acts. Our CAT Team is comprised of team members from every aspect of our business, which allows us to respond in a coordinated way. 
 
With the help of the Aon Impact Forecasting modeling team, we can identify how many properties are at risk for flooding as an event unfolds. This gives us the ability to proactively reach out to agents with affected policies and provide them with our claims process and points of contact. This proactive approach empowers our agents to be ready when clients call with a loss.
