Catastrophe claims surge events are typically large-scale and complex, often involving multiple parties and considerable damage. It is important to be familiar with the types of events that can trigger a catastrophe claim, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes.

As storms roll in, Pros with a MyCAT Marketplace profile will be able to provide capacity to handle pre-planned claims before the storms affect the area.
