Weather Insurance

  

Some businesses rely heavily on the weather. If you own a ski resort, and a year goes by without any snow, you might not get to own your resort very much longer. Weather insurance helps protect against these situations.

These policies represent insurance tied to weather events. They're a way to protect property against harsh weather (blizzards, sandstorms, hail). It also lets businesses hedge against the threat of unfavorable weather.
