HELSINKI, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ICEYE, a
global leader in satellite-powered disaster management solutions,
has announced that Aon, a leading global professional services
firm, has expanded its data licensing agreement to include ICEYE's
Flood Insights data globally and Wildfire Insights data for the
US.
Under the agreement, Aon will incorporate ICEYE's near real-time
flood and wildfire data into its event response capabilities for
Reinsurance clients, to facilitate the loss analysis of
catastrophic events. The high-resolution Insights data from ICEYE
allows Aon to provide clients with detailed location-level analysis
on flood and wildfire insights into damage of properties.
ICEYE's large constellation of NewSpace satellites provides
access to a new level of persistent monitoring for any location on
Earth, with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology delivering
uninterrupted visibility, day and night, in any weather conditions
and through smoke. Hazard and damage data is made available within
hours of an event occurring with updated analysis provided at
regular intervals as the flood or wildfire develops.
Stephen Lathrope, Senior Vice
President for Solutions, ICEYE, added: "ICEYE is delighted to be
expanding its data agreement with Aon and building on the success
of the solutions we have supported. In an increasingly volatile
natural catastrophe environment characterized by increasing
frequency, severity, and complexity, rapid access to damage and
hazard data will be critical. At ICEYE, we continue to expand our
constellations and enhance our technology as we help shape the
future of satellite-powered, data-driven disaster response."
Commenting on the announcement, Dan
Dick, Global Head of Property Analytics for Reinsurance at
Aon, said: "As climate risk further influences the behavior of
weather events, Aon is committed to providing its clients with the
most accurate and comprehensive catastrophe data and analytics. By
integrating ICEYE's Flood Insights and Wildfire Insights into our
event response solutions, we can provide enhanced clarity and
confidence around the immediate financial impact of catastrophic
events as they develop, ultimately leading to better business
decisions for our clients."
ICEYE and Aon previously collaborated to provide insurers with
flood hazard data following severe flooding events in Japan to help reduce volatility and better
understand the post-event impact on their portfolios.
