Hurricane Parametric utilizes the Maximum Sustained Wind from a specific Calculation Location from the hurricane hardened anemometer (wind measuring meter) network identified in the Insureds policy to determine if coverage is triggered. The Calculation Location(s) is/are selected by the Insured and specified in the Insureds policy. The Maximum Sustained Wind reports at the wind monitoring stations are collected and analyzed by Risk Management Solutions, Inc. (RMS). If during a Named Storm System the measured Maximum Sustained Wind at the selected Calculation Location equals or exceeds the wind speed thresholds identified in the Insureds policy, the corresponding limits purchased are available to indemnify the Insured for the actual loss sustained.
