ADDVALORA Group in the face of Hurricane MELISSA as it passes through Jamaica and the Caribbean
In light of the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has struck Jamaica as one of the strongest storms in its recent history (Category 5), causing severe flooding, significant structural damage, and seriously affecting the population in the central and western parts of the country, Addvalora Group would like to express its deepest solidarity with all victims and those affected.
This notice aims to inform insurers, reinsurers, and multinational companies established in the area of the resources we are making available to those who may have suffered losses.
We have activated our Natural Catastrophe Contingency Plan, setting up a special emergency team that can act immediately to carry out loss assessment and adjustment activities, with the goal of enabling a swift recovery of the insureds’ operations. We can conduct assessments remotely through our proprietary remote-adjusting tool, or on site, depending on the needs of each case.
Our teams are made up of professionals with diverse technical backgrounds and extensive experience in CAT NAT claims, drawn from our joint venture Addvalora–JMO Adjusters in Jamaica. Among our specialties—particularly relevant to the main buildings and infrastructures that may have been affected—are agriculture, energy, construction and civil works, transportation, telecommunications, tourism, among others, as well as business interruption and ALOP.
We have been involved in some of the most significant CAT NAT losses of the past two decades, especially in the Caribbean region, including fires, meteorological events, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, ground displacement along fault lines, hailstorms, volcanic eruptions, and hydrometeorological risks in general.
The special emergency response team is already operational in Jamaica, coordinated from our regional office in Miami, USA. By the end of this week, it will be reinforced with our resources in the USA and Latin America, with full support at all times from our headquarters in Spain.
