Juniper Re, LLC and Canopy Weather Collaborate to Deliver Customized Severe Storms Event Response

TAMPA, Fla. – April 3, 2024 –Juniper Re, LLC (“Juniper Re”), the dynamic reinsurance broking arm and indirect subsidiary of BRP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRP), and Canopy Weather, LLC (“Canopy”), a leading provider of weather analytics solutions, are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration to bring post-event severe convective storm response analytics to Juniper Re clients.

Tornadoes, hail, and straight-line winds pose significant risks to properties. Canopy employs leading-edge technology and human expertise to rapidly provide ground-truth observations immediately following storm events. Canopy’s application-first approach and focus on data quality enables it to provide accurate post-storm data that provides a unique and more complete picture of ground-level storm impacts than other offerings. By integrating Canopy's advanced weather analytic capabilities with Juniper Re's expertise in (re)insurance solutions, the collaboration aims to provide Juniper Re’s clients with risk management insights and more informed storm-related loss estimates.

Given the uptick of severe storm losses, quickly assessing impacted exposure and potential losses post-event is vital. Through this collaboration, Canopy and Juniper Re intend to work closely with insurers, MGAs, and other providers of insurance products to deliver detailed hazard analytics for tornado, hail, and wind in near real-time. Pairing these advanced footprints with a carrier’s exposure, clients can quickly assess the number of risks and exposed limits impacted by an event. This will allow carriers to better estimate losses, allocate resources, and enhance the customer experience.

Juniper Re's Head of Catastrophe Analytics, Adam Miron, said, "At Juniper Re, we understand the importance of accurate and actionable insights after a severe storm event, which is why it is essential that carriers regularly assess their event response providers. They might be surprised to find how significantly their capabilities and responsiveness can be enhanced with access to superior, more refined, and timely data. Our collaboration with Canopy enables Juniper Re to seamlessly provide our clients with tailored event response solutions using cutting-edge technology adapted to fit their specific needs.”

Jeff Irvan, President of Juniper Re, shared his excitement about the collaboration. “Many clients rely on their reinsurance broker to provide impacts in the aftermath of a storm. At Juniper Re, we pride ourselves in working with best-in-class, differentiated providers like Canopy to provide actionable insights.”

"This exciting collaboration with Juniper Re underscores our commitment to supporting carriers”, Don Giuliano, President of Canopy added. “We have a mutual interest in accurately assessing and mitigating the impacts of severe storms. By leveraging our weather analytics expertise and Juniper Re's innovative reinsurance solutions, we can offer carriers data driven peace of mind and financial security in the face of extreme weather events."
