Location of Contents<br />

• The location of contents within an insured location is critical when<br />

assessing flood loss potential, particularly for commercial and industrial<br />

risks.<br />

• Examples:<br />

• Hospitals (MRIs, CAT Scan Machines, Radiology equipment)<br />

• Office Buildings (Electrical and IT equipment, etc.)<br />

• Specialty businesses (Art Galleries)<br />

• Models tend to spread out contents value over the number of stories<br />

within a building. This could lead to an underestimation of the amount of<br />

contents at risk to flood losses.
