The policy pays out almost immediately following an event 鈥� the amount depending on the loss, the strength of the storm and its proximity to the insured address.
Alok Jha, CEO of ARC, said the product is designed to helps residents get back on their feet quickly by providing funds to check into a hotel, pay the deductible on their homeowners policy or pay for repairs such as landscaping and outdoor property.
ARC is a venture-backed Silicon Valley corporation based in Pleasanton, Calif. ARC is founded by a team of catastrophe risk professionals.
