Aon has launched an end-to-end analytics solution to drive better informed catastrophe response.
The innovative solution supports re/insurers’ catastrophe response before, during, and after an event, with capabilities including real-time loss estimates from impact forecasting’s automated event response service, advanced mapping tools to visualise event footprints, and customised reports tailored to stakeholder needs. It also allows insurers to recast historical natural catastrophes – such as Hurricanes Milton, Ian, and Helene – to assess how they would impact today’s portfolios.
This strategic approach drives better reserving decisions, improves claims efficiency, and augments the customer experience around catastrophe events.
The launch of the event analytics solution follows the estimated more than $100bn in insured losses during the first half of 2025, according to Aon’s Global Catastrophe Recap First Half of 2025 report, which reinforces the need for re/insurers to quickly respond and manage the cost of catastrophes. Despite this significant loss, according to Aon’s 2025 Catastrophe Risk Management Survey, just 54% utilised models to guide their response strategies.
Aon’s global head of event response for risk capital Dan Hartung, said: “Insurers are under pressure to make decisions with speed and precision, but fragmented data sources often slow down decision-making. Aon’s Event Analytics platform is designed to support re/insurers through all phases of global catastrophes, helping them to quantify and respond to the effects of high-impact events. It delivers actionable insights that enable insurers to triage losses, mobilize resources, and communicate effectively with stakeholders — all in near real-time”.
