CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 15, 2022--

Arturo, the proptech company that delivers intelligent analytics from individual property to portfolio, announced the release of its inaugural report “Hurricane Exposure: The State of Gulf Homes” that analyzes more than 17 million homes across the southeast United States ahead of a forecasted above-average hurricane season.

The report finds 71.9 percent of rooftops in the analyzed states are asphalt shingle, which can only withstand wind speeds up to 110 mph, or Category 3 force winds. Older or degraded asphalt may only withstand winds up to 50 mph. Metal roofs are more wind-resistant, able to withstand winds up to 160 mph (Category 5), but they only make up 6 percent of roofs in the region.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts as many as 21 named storms, with potentially up to 10 hurricanes, three to six of which could be major hurricanes for 2022. The report reviews several critical categories and property features deemed vital to insurers as the industry moves toward a proactive model where understanding risks and areas of underinsurance ahead of claims issues is critical. These categories and property features include wind and water exposure, roof shape, skylights, solar panels and pools, as well as underinsurance characteristics.

“Arturo is enabling insurers to better understand the complete picture of hurricane risk from a property to portfolio level so insurance companies can help educate policyholders on steps they need to take to mitigate damages in hurricane-prone areas,” said Neil Pearson, chief strategy officer of Arturo. “Any changes that occur to a property over time, like the addition of solar panels or other items that result in underinsurance, are detected as they appear so policyholders are more likely to be adequately insured.”

Other highlights from the report include:
