Fuse International, the AI-powered commercial insurance intelligence platform, has announced the general availability of Watch, a new product that plots every active US peril on a single live map, purpose-built for commercial insurance brokers and underwriters.
According to Fuse, watch is organised around four views: a Peril Map plotting active events across the continental US, a Live Feed of insurance-relevant alerts with line-of-business context, a Forecast covering the next three days of severe-weather risk, and Market Pulse, a live read on the macro and commodity signals driving insurance pricing.
The Peril Map reportedly covers more than 18 distinct peril categories, ranging from tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, hail, lightning, and high winds to tropical systems. It also tracks floods, wildfires, winter weather, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Additional categories include coastal and tsunami events, landslides, air quality, marine conditions, and visibility, as well as FEMA disaster declarations.
The map draws on multiple live data sources, including active watches and warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS), convective outlooks from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, seismic data from the USGS, and satellite-based hot-spot detection.
“Feeds refresh as often as every ten minutes. Brokers and underwriters filter by peril type, severity, geography, and time window, with analytics summarising seven-day alert volume, alerts by peril, and top states by alert volume at a glance,” Fuse added.
The firm continued, “For brokers and underwriters who want the market to come to them, Watch also delivers a comprehensive daily email digest — a single morning brief covering the overnight peril picture, the three-day forecast, the most material carrier-pressure movements, and the commodity and macro signals that shifted while the market slept.
“Recipients select the region most relevant to their book — the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, the Southeast, California and the West, the Northeast, or the full continental United States — and the digest is tailored accordingly.”
Sean Bourgeois, founder and CEO of Fuse, commented, “Brokers and underwriters have access to public weather data, public disaster data, and public economic data. What they haven’t had is a dedicated product that pulls all of it into one live view, filters it through a commercial-insurance lens, and keeps it updated around the clock.
“Watch is that product. It’s a live peril dashboard every commercial underwriter and every broker should have open on a second monitor. And the daily digest is for the broader market — because the first thing a good underwriter does every morning is read the market, and we want to make that easier for everyone to do.”
Watch is available now to all Fuse subscribers at fuserisk.com/alerts.
