Weather Observations (daily observations from observation stations at airports).ShakeMaps (ground shaking produced by earthquakes).

NOAA GOES-R Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 2 Lightning Detection Data.Perils (includes tornado, hail, wind, flood, freezing rain, debris flow reports and several others).Run your own proprietary analyses using desktop mapping applications.Streamline workflow by automating searches.Enable analyses while keeping your sensitive claims and policy data behind your firewall.Internet or intranet users can then use the map service in web applications, ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS Online, and other client applications. PLRB Catastrophe Services makes maps in ArcMap (the main component of Esri's ArcGIS suite of geospatial processing programs), then publishes the maps as services to our ArcGIS Server site. Maps (static and interactive), documents (state of emergencies and evacuation orders, if available), and data analysis are included.Ī map service makes maps, features, and attribute data available inside many types of client applications. PLRB creates and maintains web pages for specific major events such as hurricanes, major floods, wildfires, riots, and volcanic eruptions. It includes severe weather, tropical weather, fire weather, heavy snow/icing, precipitation, & flooding. The Threats Assessment is emailed every weekday and some weekends and details forecasted weather events and ongoing disasters that may affect the insured from the current day to the next several days. Included is a comma-separated values (CSV) file in plain text format for import into a database. The Severe Storm & Occurrence Summary (SSOS) is emailed to our member mailing list each morning and provides a list of perils for the 24 hour period through 6AM of the current day. It provides the members with current information on tornado, hail, wind, lightning probability, flood, ice storms, debris flows, earthquake, tropical storms and hurricanes, major fires, explosions, hazardous materials events, riots, and other occurrences that are likely to cause multiple claims. This system is updated seven days a week. The center of PLRB's Catastrophe Services information system is the on-line database accessible through PLRB's Weather/Cats home page.

It can be obtained in a variety of formats including: text, spreadsheets, static maps, as well as GIS data including: shapefiles, KML, and map services. The Property & Liability Resource Bureau provides a continual flow of data to its insurer members and Affiliate Members via the Catastrophe Services Department. The need for current and accurate weather and catastrophe information is crucial to the efficient operation of a property claims department.
