The weather doesn't care, and so it forces us to be prepared, be ready and be on call when we need it.

The situation room at our National Catastrophe Claim Center. There's a number of screens in there that show you "Hey, here's the weather, here's a map of our insureds, here's what the media's reporting." And there's normally a feed from Twitter.

Our team uses aerial imagery

to compare pre- and post- event imagery, otherwise known as gray and blue sky.
[DESCRIPTION]
Tracy W. speaking to camera
[SPEECH]
The blue-sky imagery is pictures of life as normal in a location, and then the gray sky imagery is something bad has just happened — a tornado, a hurricane, a wildfire.

Looking at just the after-event image, but then also the comparison, can give us a better understanding of what's going on.

[SPEECH]
So we've invested in artificial intelligence that we've built here at Travelers to automatically

look at that imagery for us in a matter of seconds, and flag those locations that have actually been damaged. And give us some sort of sense of how much they've been damaged.

We've been able to determine when someone's house has been destroyed while they're still evacuated. And folks from Travelers reach out to them and say "Let's get this payment and claim process going as quick as we can, to get money in your pocket, to help you start that journey of recovery. Even before you've been legally allowed back into your neighborhood."

[SPEECH]
It's been really exciting since I started because I've been able to travel all throughout the country helping the customer at their time of need. You want to be prepared, and you want to make sure that you're ready to go, but you just never know when.

The thing that I love the most about being in the field is that I'm able to connect the voice with the face. They know a little bit about me, I know a little bit about them. So now when they call me and they say “Hi, this is so and so,” I know exactly who they are.
[DESCRIPTION]
Erika and teammate inspect a customer home damaged by high winds.
[SPEECH]
They think that the adjusters are there just to, you know, save money for the insurance company. And every time somebody would say something like that, I would just kind of stop them dead in their tracks and say, “Look, I'm going to handle claims the way that I hope that somebody would handle a claim if I were the customer.”
[DESCRIPTION]
Erika talking to camera.
[SPEECH]
Then they could see that, “Oh, you're not the big insurance company,” I'm just Erika and I'm just a person handling your claim.

There's lots of things that we do really well here at Travelers, and there's lots of things that make us special at Travelers, but I think it's the people, really, that makes us special.
