CATASTROPHE CLAIM REPORTING FORM RELATING TO
STORM ISAIAS
DATED:
AUGUST 10, 2020
______________________________________________________________________________
The Department is requesting all admitted and non-admitted property and casualty insurance
companies and surplus lines insurers, including companies that write flood insurance, to
complete the attached claim reporting form and return it to the Department. This information
is requested concerning claims submitted relating to Storm Isaias ONLY. When reporting,
please use the following checklist:
✓In the event a company has no claims to report and does not anticipate any claims to be
reported, only complete and file one report and so indicate that there are no claims.
✓If a company has multiple insurers within a holding company group, the holding
company group should aggregate the information into one form.
✓The Department would appreciate receiving data for two periods. The first report for
Delaware is due on August 17, 2020 and the second report is due on September 17, 2020.
The September report should be an aggregate report that includes the data reported in the
August report.
✓Reports should be submitted electronically via e-mail to:
HurricaneIsaiasDE@delaware.gov.
✓Please contact the Department (302)674-7370 immediately if your company (or group) is
unable to compile the required data in accordance with these requirements or has any
questions regarding this process.
Supplied data is considered confidential commercial data protected under Delaware law, 18
Del.C. §10002(l)(2), except when aggregated with data from all other insurers in a manner that
does not permit any individual company information to be identified. Aggregated data is also of
interest to the Federal Insurance Office under its authority “to monitor all aspects of the
insurance industry.”

Questions concerning this Bulletin should be directed to the Department’s Consumer
