Respond’s hail severity locations are a vast improvement over traditional weather data

Claims can not only see where the hail occurred and how severe it was, but also also map that hail data to their insured locations. At a glance, this provides a detailed picture of the PIF—how many insureds were most likely to have been exposed to severe hail.
