Insurance and Risk Monitoring in Slovenia

Sentinel data is being used by insurance companies to conduct better risk assessments. In the wake of natural disasters, the data also allows for rapid mapping of impacted areas and helps in determining future exposure to similar events.

In this case, Flycom Technologies, a Slovenian remote sensing company helped Zavarovalnica Triglav, the largest insurance company in Slovenia to understand the impact of severe flooding of the Krka river in 2017. As a result of the catastrophic flooding, nearly 6,000 households across Slovenia lost electricity, 600 buildings were badly damaged and close to 700 roads were made impassable. Thanks to the use of Sentinel data, the affected area could be mapped quickly and remotely, allowing Zavarovalnica Triglav to deeper understand the risk of catastrophic flooding in the future.

Since then, both companies have increasingly adopted Sentinel data in their daily operations, ultimately leading to it becoming a go-to source of rich and useful data.
