Toronto (July 29, 2014) – Catastrophe Indices and Quantification Inc. (CatIQ) and Catastrophe Response Unit Adjusters Inc. (CRU) today announce that they have entered into an agreement whereby CRU will provide CatIQ with actionable real-time information from Catastrophe Zones (Cat-Zones) in Canada to be shared with CatIQ’s subscribers across the Canadian insurance industry via its proprietary CatHUB interface within the www.catiq.com platform.

CRU will be the first industry partner to provide CatIQ’s users with photos, videos and text-based reporting from Cat Zones across Canada within the first hours and days following the Cat and then periodically as the recovery process unfolds. Industry Partner reports from Cat Zones are a valuable addition to CatIQ’s CatHUB interface.
