Flood Insurance Solutions
The need for flood insurance solutions is higher than ever. Milliman has the data, tools, and expertise to help insurers navigate this evolving market.
Success in the private flood market demands innovation

Until recently, many carriers had considered flood risk to be uninsurable—but Milliman is changing that. Our unique expertise, vast data resources, and advanced modeling techniques are opening up new frontiers in private flood insurance and can help you meet the growing consumer demand.
