Over the past 40 years, freeze events have resulted in over $120 billion in economic losses. These figures underscore the serious challenges that temperature fluctuations pose to businesses across various sectors. In light of this situation, Arbol Insurance Services has developed a solution to shield businesses from the financial losses that freezing temperatures can inflict.

Understanding the Economic Impact of Freeze and Low Temperature 

Low temperatures can wreak havoc across industries such as:

  • Agriculture & Vineyards: A single frost event can decimate crops.
  • Energy & Utilities: Widespread ice accumulation can cause power outages and lead to shortfalls in renewable energy generation.
  • Transportation: Frozen runways and icy roads can hinder operations.
  • Construction: Cold conditions can adversely affect material setting and equipment functionality.
  • Real Estate: Icy conditions can lead to slip and falls, structural damage, or roof collapses.

Arbol's Low Temperature Insurance: Customized Cold Weather Protection

For insurance producers with clients vulnerable to low-temperature conditions, Arbol Insurance Services offers a solution: our Low Temperature Insurance. Designed for clients like farmers ineligible for Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, agribusinesses, fruit packers, vineyards, and wineries, our insurance provides tailored protection against the challenges of cold weather.

At the core of our offering is a custom temperature index, developed for each client based on trusted third-party data from sources like the PRISM Climate Group and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' ERA5-Land dataset. This ensures precise and reliable risk assessments. Clients can choose multiple locations and assign weights to each, allowing for coverage that aligns with their specific needs.

Leveraging Advanced AI for Precision
