“The need for ongoing risk assessment and the development of appropriate coverage options for solar storm-related damages is paramount. As we face an increasingly volatile space weather environment, insurers must be proactive in addressing these emerging risks” notes Samuel Lopez.
While the recent solar storms have not yet resulted in direct claims within the insurance sector, the potential for future incidents underscores the need for vigilance and preparedness. Policyholders concerned about solar storm coverage should consult with their insurance providers to understand their policy’s terms and explore available options for protection against such risks.
