About Hurricane Storm Surge
As Hurricane Katrina proved, storm surge isn’t to be taken lightly. Experts have predicted that in the coming years hurricanes will increase in strength and frequency.

In order to help our users gain a better understanding of their storm surge exposure, CDS Business Mapping has added a revolutionary SLOSH
(Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) based storm surge report to the RiskMeter Online. By simply typing in an address, users will be able to find out if a policy falls within an area likely to flood from a hurricane of a specific strength (category 1-5), as well as the maximum storm surge height for each category of storm.

Check out the documentation below to see how this cutting-edge report can give your organization a competitive edge!
