From missiles to missed payments - how the #MiddleEastConflict is rippling through specialty lines - #insurance #insurancenews with @KennedysLaw and @McKenzie_Int insurancebusinessmag.com/uk/news/breaki…

MIS have shared the latest intelligence concerning the conflict between Iran, Israel and the USA. To keep clients updated with the latest information regarding their exposure and how the conflict is evolving, the team have released new exposure-level insights on GEO

New Year, New... GEO? We might be mostly through the first month of 2026, but it's not too late to share that GEO has had a bit of a visual overhaul recently. We're very excited to highlight the brilliant work done to make finding the intelligence you need easier than ever.

The MIS team have made initial assessments of the widespread flooding across New Zealand's North Island. To help clients establish where their relevant business in New Zealand at risk, the team have highlighted a large number of potentially flooded areas around the North Island.

The MIS team are responding to the wildfires in Biobío, Chile. To enable clients to quickly establish where any relevant portfolios are at risk, the team have released an Exposure Layer on GEO, covering Fire Perimeters and Observed Hotspots.

The GEO report for the Southern Australia wildfires has been updated following further data collection by the team. To provide clients with the latest intelligence on where the wildfires are putting their locations at risk, the team have added to the existing Exposure Layer.

MIS assessments of the Washington flooding continue with new Claims and Exposure-level intelligence added to the GEO report. This ensures that clients can stay aware of incoming claims hotspots and the evolving financial impact of this event on their business.

We continue to highlight our key event response activities from each month of 2025. A week into this campaign and we have reached July, a pretty quiet month for the team considering the lack of activity, however there was a major hail event that impacted over a dozen US states.

We're starting the week with more from our 2025 month-by-month event response recap. Today's GEO report revisit goes back to June and the Civil Unrest that unfolded across Los Angeles, a strong example of how MIS can to respond to any peril.

The fourth day of our campaign to revisit the work of the MIS team during each month of 2025 takes us to April and the MIS response to widespread flooding across the US Midwest. Nearly 30,000 in-force client locations were exposed to flood damage during this event.

the MIS team have begun the week with further assessments of the major flooding across Washington. To enable clients to get ahead of incoming claims and quickly support their worst-affected policyholders, the team have added Claims and Operational-level Intelligence to GEO.

Day 3 of our 2025 event response recap shared details of how the MIS team produced building-level intelligence following a major tornado outbreak across the South and Central United States in March.

Day 2 of our look back at the MIS response to events throughout 2025 focuses on flooding in February that impacted large parts of Queensland, Australia. Flick through the pictures below for a wrap-up of February's biggest GEO report and check back in tomorrow for more!

The MIS team have made initial assessments of the tornado that hit Houston, Texas on Monday 24 November. To help clients get an early understanding of their relevant exposure to this event, the team have added an event report to GEO with exposure-level intelligence.
