MAJOR CATASTROPHES: UNITED STATES

Property Claim Services (PCS), a Verisk Analytics business, defines a catastrophe as an event that causes $25 million or more in insured property losses and affects a significant number of property/casualty policyholders and insurers. PCS estimates represent anticipated insured losses from natural and man-made catastrophes on an industrywide basis, reflecting the total net insurance payment for personal and commercial property lines of insurance covering fixed property, vehicles, boats, related-property items, business interruption and additional living expenses. They exclude loss-adjustment expenses. Property/casualty insurance industry catastrophes losses in the United States rose to $15.5 billion in 2014 from $12.9 billion in 2013 according to PCS, the second consecutive below-average year of losses. The number of claims reached 2.1 million in 2014, compared with 1.8 million in 2013. The number of catastrophes rose to 31 from 28 in 2013.
