CCRIF to make record payout to the Government of Jamaica totalling US$70.8 Million (~J$11.4 Billion), following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.
This marks the largest single payout in CCRIF’s history and is a powerful demonstration of the organization’s parametric insurance model. This payout will be made within 14 days, consistent with CCRIF’s commitment to speed, transparency, and fiscal responsiveness.
In announcing the payout, CCRIF CEO, Mr. Isaac Anthony, stated: “This payout to Jamaica is not just a financial transaction, it is a reaffirmation of CCRIF’s mission to stand with our members in their most difficult moments. On behalf of the CCRIF Board, Management, and Team, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the people of Jamaica. We are proud to support the Government’s swift response and recovery efforts, and we remain committed to helping build a more resilient and secure future for all.”
In addition to this tropical cyclone payout, the Government of Jamaica is expected to receive a second payout under its excess rainfall policy, pending final model calculations.

Where the heck are the Atlantic #hurricanes? While we don't claim to know exactly why it's gotten so quiet, we have written a discussion on the season to date, some drivers of the lull as well as some thoughts on the remainder of the season.

Tropical Storm #Gabrielle has formed in the central tropical Atlantic - the 1st Atlantic named storm formation since Fernand got named on 23 August. Since 1940, only one other Atlantic #hurricane season (1992) had no named storm formations between 24 August - 16 September.

Cyclone #Garance is less than 24 hours from passing over or very close to the French island of #LaReunion in the South Indian Ocean. If it makes landfall over the island at hurricane strength it will be the first cyclone to do so since 1989.
