It is fantastic to see our partnership with The University of California and Liberty Mutual Reinsurance highlighted in the recent publication of The Parametric Insurer. LM Re is the insurer, with additional reinsurance capacity from Munich Re. Alliant Insurance Services and Howden brokered the transaction. UC is the first organization in the United Sates to adopt sensor-triggered earthquake parametric coverage. This builds on the sensor-based solutions already in place in Mexico and the Caribbean through the Safehub, LM Re, XS Global partnership. This solution offers not only reduced basis risk for the policy, but also supports UC campuses' emergency response through the provision of building-specific damage information in near-real-time following an earthquake. The Parametric Insurer's publication also highlights earthquake parametric insurance in general, including descriptions of the three methods for triggering a policy: cat-in-a-shape, local ground shaking, and asset-specific ground shaking. A great read! Thank you to all involved! #parametricinsurance #earthquakeresilience #emergencyresponse

2moVery cool! I'm curious about what you mean here by "cat-in-a-shake" being one way to trigger a policy.
