Over the past several years, climate change has been tied to a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, high winds, and heavy snowfall. These events have, in turn, had a major impact on insurers, who paid out $1.9 billion in 2018 from the effects of extreme weather events that took place across Canada. However, while snow and ice, wind and water are often contributing factors, the damage caused by extreme weather is sometimes merely symptomatic of other preexisting issues.
In this webinar we will be examining losses “caused” by extreme weather events and investigating further to determine the root cause of the damage. In doing so, we will be discussing:
We will also be looking at applications for drones in structural investigations with video footage that showcases their unique and strategic abilities.
