Aon plc has expanded its Automated Event Response (AER) platform to include U.S. severe convective storms, aiming to help insurers better manage rising catastrophe risks.
The enhanced service provides daily loss estimates and real-time insights during active weather events, enabling insurers to make faster decisions on claims, staffing and capital allocation.
Severe convective storms have become the costliest insured peril globally, with nearly $794 billion in cumulative losses and $52 billion recorded in the U.S. in 2025 alone, highlighting growing volatility in the sector.
Aon said the upgraded platform will support insurers in improving risk assessment, pricing strategies and reinsurance decisions, as extreme weather events continue to impact profitability across the industry.
