Irma, the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history, made landfall on the islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Martin and Saint Barts in the Caribbean on the 6th September 2017. The catastrophic hurricane is now moving up towards South Florida, via Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Being a Category 5 hurricane, Irma is capable of inflicting complete devastation through life-threatening winds, gales, storm surges and rainfall. First reports have confirmed widespread destruction across the islands of Caribbean, with at least 10 fatalities and the death toll likely to rise.

Several South Florida counties have switched into emergency mode, planning evacuations, school closings and setting up shelters.

Working closely with our Associates based throughout the Caribbean and the states of Texas and Florida, Concordia is able and ready to provide claims support and reinsurance recoveries through Concordia Consultancy’s Caribbean Hurricane Response Service (CHRS).

Concordia’s team has handled Hurricane claims and surveys since 1980. Our experience includes catastrophe claims in the USA and internationally, with individual losses up to USD2.5million resulting from Hurricane Sandy.

Our head office team in London is actively monitoring Hurricane Irma and on standby to assist with claims arising from the natural disaster.

From our London head office, we are able to liaise with the UK and International Insurers, Reinsurers, Risk Managers, and Brokers.
