ACE International executive vice president Derek Talbott said the ACE Cat Web Platform enables the companies to assist clients by identifying more precisely the natural catastrophe exposures while working with suppliers and customers who may be exposed to the same risks

"By pinpointing accumulation hot spots, companies can better assess the strengths and weaknesses of their supply chains and ACE can more easily work with them to develop the right programmes to manage the risks." Talbott added.

The satellite imagery will be used by ACE's engineering specialists to provide more detailed risk assessments of local risk.

Using data from the US Geological Survey, the platform can be used to view past and current global natural hazard activity such as earthquake, storm and flood events.
