Florida Catastrophic Event Data Reporting (CEDRA) Revisions
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform the insurance industry of the Office’s
expectations regarding disaster reporting in the event of a storm during or after the 2007
Hurricane Season.
To facilitate your understanding and use of the reporting mechanism, a period of voluntary
industry testing and training for Data Collection Form Number: OIR-DO-1681 – SECTIONS A, B
and C will begin September 4, 2007 and continue through September 30, 2007.
Industry testing of the Data Collection Form Number: OIR-DO-1681 – SECTION D will be
scheduled upon the completion of the Section A, B, and C testing cycle outlined below:
Overview
Section 624.307, F.S., establishes the authority of the Office of Insurance Regulation (Office) to “collect,
propose, publish, and disseminate information relating to the subject matter of any duties imposed upon it by
law.”
Each submission must be made on an individual basis. Combined or consolidated reports will not be
accepted.
Rule 69O-142.015(1), FAC, implements the collection of the data required by this form utilizing the Office’s
Industry Portal (IPortal). This was developed by the Office as an electronic data reporting mechanism with
which required reporting entities are to submit form OIR-DO-1681. The Office’s Industry Portal (IPortal) is
located at https://iportal.fldfs.com/ifile/default.asp.
Access "Data Reporting", and then select
Catastrophic Event Data Reporting & Analysis OIR-DO-1681
from the reporting types listed. Follow the screen instructions contained in the IPortal to download and
complete your test submission.
Use of the IPortal for the submission of this data reporting form is only authorized upon the issuance of
Emergency Order by the Office as outlined in Rule 69O-142.015(1), F.A.C. Once the initial reporting due date
is established by the underlying Emergency Order, each required submitting entity will continue to report these
data as frequently as the first and fifteenth calendar day of each month following the setting of the initial

When prompted in the CEDRA reporting module of the IPortal to “Select Data Reporting”:
•
“Data filing” means reporting entity has received property claims from the EVENT.
•
“No Data filing” means the reporting entity has no property exposure in Florida, or, the reporting
entity has property exposure in Florida but has received no property claims as a result of EVENT at the
time of the data submission.
Please note: Computerized validations of your entered data are performed at the time you submit your CEDRA
report. These validations are done “behind the scenes” by the Office’s systems. The Industry Portal will notify
you by email if you have missed a required cell or made a similar type of data entry error on the data
template. At the same time your email notification is sent, your data template is returned to your Industry
Portal Workbench so corrected data may be resubmitted.
The error-notification email displays the row and column designations as they appear on the data template.
Therefore, to facilitate the Office's prompt receipt of your CEDRA report, please review your data template
carefully prior to submission. All validation check indicators must read "TRUE" for a successful submission.
If you need additional assistance with the corrections, please contact the Office via email at:

As used in this section and as this template may be applied to Hurricane/Tropical Storm reporting, "EVENT"
means a storm system that has been declared by the National Hurricane Center of the National Weather
Service. The duration of the "reporting event" includes the time period, in Florida:
a. Beginning at the time a storm watch or storm warning is issued for any part of Florida by the National
Hurricane Center of the National Weather Service;
b. Continuing for the time period during which the storm conditions exist anywhere in Florida; and
c. Ending 72 hours following the termination of the last storm watch or storm warning issued for any
part of Florida by the National Hurricane Center of the National Weather Service.
Other reporting "EVENTS" will be as defined by the Office in its implementing reporting order.
Section A: Aggregate Information – These data are to be provided on a statewide basis as it relates to the
submitting individual carrier associated with this data submission. This section is to reflect your modeling and
loss projections. It is assumed that these are based on exposures and reported losses and include all lines of
business. As the “net retention” may include allowances for Catastrophe reinsurance treaties which include all
lines effected during the reporting EVENT as defined above, the Office realizes that your data reported in
Section A may include lines of business beyond the CEDRA REPORTING CATEGORIES describe in the table above.
The following are required Section A data elements:
1. Dollar Amount of Estimated Gross Payable Loss from Event (Gross of Reinsurance) is to be reported
in whole dollars
2. Projected Net Retention Resulting from the Event is to be reported in whole dollars. Please note:
The Office realizes this number may change in future reports as actual claims are reported, paid and
settled with the reinsurers. It is vital for the Office to understand the impact of a catastrophe on an
individual insurer as early as possible. Therefore, if necessary, an estimate projected net retention
based on your reinsurance chart may be used until such time as actual projections are available.
3. Dollar Amount of Estimated Gross Payable Loss from Event covered by Reinsurance or Other Loss-
Transfer Agreements this is an Auto-Calculation which subtracts “Projected Net Retention resulting
from the Event” from “Dollar Amount of Estimated Gross Payable Loss from Event.”
