INTRODUCTION
For Homeowners (owners forms), the MPIUA currently issues policies that have the
following type of deductibles:
• Policies where the same all-peril deductible applies to property losses independent of
the cause of loss (including wind).
• Policies with separate wind and all other peril ("AOP") deductibles. In this case, a
separate (higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind.
The MPIUA is proposing to replace its use of separate wind deductibles with separate named
storm deductibles. This change in deductibles will benefit the policyholder by providing
greater coverage for certain types of wind losses. In particular, under a named storm
deductible, a wind loss that did not result from a named storm will be subject to the lower
AOP deductible (instead of the higher named storm deductible). On the other hand, if the
policy had a separate wind deductible, then all wind losses would be subject to the higher
wind deductible. 1
The MPIUA has requested that Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) prepare an analysis
showing the calculation of indicated named storm deductible factors.
The objective of this report is to calculate indicated named storm deductible factors for
Homeowners (owners forms).2
1 If a wind loss is caused by a named storm (e.g. hurricane or tropical storm), then the transition from a wind deductible to a
named storm deductible will not impact the amount of the applicable deductible or the resulting insured loss payment.
2 A separate report shows the calculation of indicated named storm deductible factors for Dwelling Property policies.

INTRODUCTION
I. This report was provided for the use of the MPIUA's management and employees as an
aid in their selection of named storm deductible factors. Our report may be submitted to
regulatory authorities as part of an MPIUA filing. It may be provided in its entirety to
other parties that are assisting the MPIUA with the filing process. If the report is
provided to a third party, then that party may only use it on behalf of the MPIUA or in
connection with the MPIUA filing. Any other use or disclosure must be agreed to in
writing by ISO. The actuary signing this report is available to answer questions about
the report.
2. As part of this analysis, we are not expressing any opinion regarding the overall
adequacy of the MPIUA's currently approved rate level. The indicated named storm
deductible factors were calculated to maintain the same level of rate adequacy as implied
by the currently approved rates for the MPIUA.
3. The future loss experience of the MPIU A may differ from the projected estimates
contained in this report. By their nature, insurance claims are subject to variability. The
ultimate liabilities depend on the outcome of future contingent events, the result of which
cannot be known in advance. This uncertainty is present in any actuarial projection.
4. In preparing our report, we have relied upon the premium, loss, and other data provided
to us by the MPIUA. We have neither audited nor verified the data. ISO does not assume
responsibility for any error or omission in the data or information provided to us. Any
material error in the data or other information could result in changes to the indications.
In such event, ISO cannot be responsible for any consequences resulting from its use of
incorrect information or data in deriving the indications. Although we have not audited
the underlying data, we have reviewed the historical information used in this report for
reasonability. We are not aware of any limitations or unresolved concerns that would
limit the use of the data in our analysis.
5. This analysis has used historical MPIUA premium and loss experience to project the
MPIUA's future experience. To the extent that future insureds of the MPIUA are
different from those underwritten in the past, these projections may differ from the actual
loss experience that ultimately occurs. For instance, a significant expansion/contraction
of the voluntary insurer market would impact the MPIUA's insured population. Such a
development has not been addressed in this study.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The key results of our named storm deductible analysis for Homeowners (owners forms) are
summarized below.
I. Indicated Named Storm Deductible Factors: In this report we calculate two sets of
indicated named storm deductible factors for the MPIUA's Homeowners (owners forms)
policies. The first set of deductible factors applies when the named storm deductible is
expressed as a percentage of the Coverage A limit. These percentage deductible factors
are shown in Exhibit 2, Page 8. The second set of deductible factors applies when the
named storm deductible is expressed as a fixed dollar amount. These dollar deductible
factors are shown in Exhibit 3, Page 8.
4. Rate Effect ofTransitioning to Named Storm Deductibles: Since the sole intent of the
premium increases discussed above in Item 3 is to offset for the increased coverage (and
increased expected losses) associated with named storm deductibles, we characterize this
filing as having a zero rate level effect. The new named storm deductible factors were
calculated to maintain the same level of rate adequacy as implied by the currently
approved rates for the MPIUA. No changes are being made to the MPIUA's base rates.
Premium increases are solely the result of replacing the existing wind deductible factors
with the proposed named storm deductible factors.
Supporting documentation, background information, and the details of our analysis can be found
in later sections of this report.

EXPLANATION OF EXHIBITS
TYPES OF DEDUCTIBLES
Throughout this analysis we refer to policies with four types of deductibles. The following
provides a brief description of these types of policies:
o Policies with an all-peril deductible where the same deductible applies to property
losses independent of the cause of loss.
o Policies with separate hurricane and all other peril ("AOP") deductibles. In this case,
a separate (higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind
from a hurricane.
o Policies with separate named storm and AOP deductibles. In this case, a separate
(higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind from a
named storm.
o Policies with separate wind and AOP deductibles. In this case, a separate (higher)
deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind.
For Homeowners (owners forms) policies in Massachusetts, ISO publishes deductible factors for
all-peril deductibles, hurricane deductibles, and wind deductibles (but not for named storm
deductibles). Currently, the MPIUA only offers policies with either an all-peril deductible or a
wind deductible.
OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY
The indicated named storm deductible factors for the MPIUA are calculated by interpolating
between its currently approved deductible factors for wind deductibles and for all-peril
deductibles. In other words, the indicated named storm deductible factors are equal to a
weighted-average of the MPIUA's current wind deductible factors and its current all-peril
deductible factors. The benefit of using this interpolation approach is that the indicated named
storm deductible factors will be consistent with the current deductible factors that are already
approved for the MPIUA.
The weights (which are used to calculate the weighted-average of the MPIUA's current wind and
all-peril deductible factors) are derived based on !SO's currently approved deductible factors
along with the MPIUA's historical experience for wind losses. In particular, the analysis
considers the MPIUA's historical wind loss experience for named storms. The details underlying
these calculations are shown in the attached exhibits.
Section 3- Page I
015
EXPLANATION OF EXHIBITS
Exhibit 1, Page 1 shows the calculation of a tempering factor that we use to calculate
interpolated values for the named storm deductible factors. In particular, we calculate implied
named storm deductible factors that are interpolated between !SO's wind deductible factors and
!SO's hurricane deductible factors.
Row (4) of Exhibit I, Page I shows the indicated tempering factor which is based on MPIUA's
historical wind loss experience. When calculating the tempering factor, we consider the
following three types of non-hurricane wind events: non-catastrophe losses, non-named storm
catastrophes (such as a winter storm), and named storm catastrophes (such as a tropical storm).
The indicated tempering factor reflects the relative contributions of these three types of non-
hurricane wind losses based on the MPIUA's historical experience. The tempering factor shown
in Row (4) implies that a named storm deductible factor should be located 88.0% of the way
between the corresponding wind deductible factor and the corresponding hurricane deductible
factor.
Pages 2 through 4 of Exhibit 1, show the calculation of the provision for different types of wind
losses. The results derived in these pages are used in the calculation of the indicated tempering
factor shown in Page I. Page 2 shows information for non named storm catastrophes (such as a
winter storm), Page 3 shows information for non-hurricane named storm catastrophes (such as a
tropical storm), and Page 4 shows information for non-catastrophes. The wind loss provisions
are expressed as a ratio of wind losses to average total insured value ("TIV"). For catastrophe
wind losses (shown in Pages 2 and 3), we rely on historical experience over a 17-year period.3
For non-catastrophe wind losses (shown in Page 4), we rely on historical experience over a 5-
year period.
3 Appendix A shows how historical loss experience for catastrophes was allocated between wind and non-wind causes of loss.
The results from Appendix A are referenced in Column (7) of Pages 2 and 3 of Exhibit l.

EXPLANATION OF EXHIBITS
Exhibit 2, Page 1 shows !SO's current wind percentage deductible factors that are approved for
Homeowners (owners forms) in Massachusetts. Exhibit 2, Page 2 shows !SO's current
hurricane percentage deductible factors that are approved for Homeowners (owners forms) in
Massachusetts.
In Exhibit 2, Page 3 we calculate indicated named storm deductible factors that are interpolated
between !SO's wind deductible factors (shown in Page I) and !SO's hurricane deductible factors
(shown in Page 2). The interpolation calculations in Page 3 use the interpolation factor that was
derived in Exhibit I, Page 1, Row (4). Note that the deductible factors shown in Page 3 were
calculated by interpolating between currently approved ISO deductible factors. Since the
MPIUA isn't referencing the current deductible factors promulgated by ISO, it wouldn't be
appropriate for the MPIUA to use the deductible factors shown in Page 3 without making
additional adjustments. For example, !SO's current deductible factors reflect a base deductible of
$500, whereas the MPIUA's current deductible factors reflect a base deductible of $250. In
subsequent pages of this exhibit we convert the named storm deductibles from Page 3 so that
they will be consistent with the wind deductible factors and all-peril deductible factors that are
currently approved for the MPIUA.
Exhibit 2, Page 4 shows !SO's current all-peril deductible factors approved for Homeowners
(owners forms) in Massachusetts.
Exhibit 2, Page 5 shows the implied tempering factors that can be used to calculate indicated
named storm deductible factors by interpolating between wind deductible factors and all-peril
deductible factors.
Exhibit 2, Page 6 shows the MPIUA's currently approved wind percentage deductible factors.
Exhibit 2, Page 7 shows the MPIUA's currently approved all-peril deductible factors.
In Exhibit 2, Page 8 we calculate indicated named storm deductible factors for the MPIUA that
are interpolated between the MPIUA's wind deductible factors (shown in Page 6) and the
MPIUA's all-peril deductible factors (shown in Page 7). The interpolation calculations in Page 8
use the interpolation factors that were derived in Page 5. Page 8 shows the named storm
percentage deductible factors that the MPIUA is proposing to use.
4 Exhibit 3 shows similar information for named storm dollar deductibles. Exhibit 3 is set up similar to that of Exhibit 2.

INTRODUCTION
For Dwelling Property, the MPIUA currently issues policies that have the following type of
deductibles:
• Policies where the same all-peril deductible applies to property losses independent of
the cause ofloss (including wind).
• Policies with separate wind and all other peril ("AOP") deductibles. In this case, a
separate (higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind.
The MPIUA is proposing to replace its use of separate wind deductibles with separate named
storm deductibles. This change in deductibles will benefit the policyholder by providing
greater coverage for certain types of wind losses. In particular, under a named storm
deductible, a wind loss that did not result from a named storm will be subject to the lower
AOP deductible (instead of the higher named storm deductible). On the other hand, if the
policy had a separate wind deductible, then all wind losses would be subject to the higher
wind deductible. 1
The MPIUA has requested that Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) prepare an analysis
showing the calculation of indicated named storm deductible factors.
The objective of this report is to calculate indicated named storm deductible factors for the
Extended Coverage component of Dwelling Property. 2
1 If a wind loss is caused by a named storm (e.g. hurricane or tropical storm), then the transition from a wind deductible to a
named storm deductible will not impact the amount of the applicable deductible or the resulting insured loss payment.
2 A separate repott shows the calculation of indicated named storm deductible factors for Homeowners (owners forms) policies.

INTRODUCTION
I. This report was provided for the use of the MPIUA's management and employees as an
aid in their selection of named storm deductible factors. Our report may be submitted to
regulatory authorities as part of an MPIUA filing. It may be provided in its entirety to
other parties that are assisting the MPIUA with the filing process. If the report is
provided to a third party, then that party may only use it on behalf of the MPIUA or in
connection with the MPIUA filing. Any other use or disclosure must be agreed to in
writing by ISO. The actuary signing this report is available to answer questions about
the report.
2. As part of this analysis, we are not expressing any opinion regarding the overall
adequacy of the MPIUA's currently approved rate level. The indicated named storm
deductible factors were calculated to maintain the same level of rate adequacy as implied
by the currently approved rates for the MPIUA.
3. The future loss experience of the MPIUA may differ from the projected estimates
contained in this report. By their nature, insurance claims are subject to variability. The
ultimate liabilities depend on the outcome of future contingent events, the result of which
cannot be known in advance. This uncertainty is present in any actuarial projection.
4. In preparing our report, we have relied upon the premium, loss, and other data provided
to us by the MPIUA. We have neither audited nor verified the data. ISO does not assume
responsibility for any error or omission in the data or information provided to us. Any
material error in the data or other information could result in changes to the indications.
In such event, ISO cannot be responsible for any consequences resulting from its use of
incorrect information or data in deriving the indications. Although we have not audited
the underlying data, we have reviewed the historical information used in this report for
reasonability. We are not aware of any limitations or unresolved concerns that would
limit the use of the data in our analysis.
5. This analysis has used historical MPIUA premium and loss experience to project the
MPIUA's future experience. To the extent that future insureds of the MPIUA are
different from those underwritten in the past, these projections may differ from the actual
loss experience that ultimately occurs. For instance, a significant expansion/contraction
of the voluntary insurer market would impact the MPIUA's insured population. Such a
development has not been addressed in this study.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The key results of our named storm deductible analysis for Dwelling Property are summarized
below.
I. Indicated Named Storm Deductible Factors: In this report we calculate two sets of
indicated named storm deductible factors for the Extended Coverage part of MPIUA's
Dwelling Property policies. The first set of deductible factors applies when the named
storm deductible is expressed as a percentage of the coverage limit. These percentage
deductible factors are shown in Exhibit 2, Page 4 for buildings and in Exhibit 3,
Column (5) for contents. The second set of deductible factors applies when the named
storm deductible is expressed as a fixed dollar amount. These dollar deductible factors
are shown in Exhibit 4, Page 4 for buildings and in Exhibit 5, Column (5) for contents.
4. Rate Effect ofTransitioning to Named Storm Deductibles: Since the sole intent of the
premium increases discussed above in Item 3 is to offset for the increased coverage (and
increased expected losses) associated with named storm deductibles, we characterize this
filing as having a zero rate level effect. The new named storm deductible factors were
calculated to maintain the same level of rate adequacy as implied by the currently
approved rates for the MPIUA. No changes are being made to the MPIUA's base rates.
Premium increases are solely the result of replacing the existing wind deductible factors
with the proposed named storm deductible factors.
Supporting documentation, background information, and the details of our analysis can be found
in later sections of this report.

TYPES OF DEDUCTIBLES
Throughout this analysis we refer to policies with four types of deductibles. The following
provides a brief description of these types of policies:
• Policies with an all-peril deductible where the same deductible applies to property
losses independent of the cause of loss.
• Policies with separate hurricane and all other peril ("AOP") deductibles. In this case,
a separate (higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind
from a hurricane.
• Policies with separate named storm and AOP deductibles. In this case, a separate
(higher) deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind from a
named storm.
• Policies with separate wind and AOP deductibles. In this case, a separate (higher)
deductible is applied to property losses that are caused by wind.
For Dwelling Property policies in Massachusetts, ISO publishes deductible factors for all-peril
deductibles and for wind deductibles (but not for hurricane deductibles or named storm
deductibles). Similarly, the MPJUA currently only offers Dwelling Property policies with either
an all-peril deductible or a wind deductible.
OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY
The indicated named storm deductible factors for the MPIUA are calculated by interpolating
between its currently approved deductible factors for wind deductibles and for all-peril
deductibles. In other words, the indicated named storm deductible factors are equal to a
weighted-average of the MPIUA's current wind deductible factors and its current all-peril
deductible factors. The benefit of using this interpolation approach is that the indicated named
storm deductible factors will be consistent with the current deductible factors that are already
approved for the MPIUA.
The weights which are used to calculate the weighted-average of the MPIUA's current wind and
all-peril deductible factors for Dwelling Property are consistent with the weights that were used
in the corresponding Homeowners deductible analysis that we prepared for the MPIUA. As part
of this analysis, we consider the MPIUA's historical wind loss experience for named storms. The
details underlying these calculations are shown in the attached exhibits. Additional relevant
information can be found in the corresponding Homeowners deductible analysis that we prepared
for the MPIUA.

EXPLANATION OF EXHIBITS
Row (4) of Exhibit I, Page I shows the indicated tempering factor which is based on MPIUA's
historical wind loss experience for its Dwelling Property business. When calculating the
tempering factor, we consider the following three types of non-hurricane wind events: non-
catastrophe losses, non-named storm catastrophes (such as a winter storm), and named storm
catastrophes (such as a tropical storm). The indicated tempering factor reflects the relative
contributions of these three types of non-hurricane wind losses based on the MPIUA's historical
experience. The tempering factor shown in Row (4) implies that a named storm deductible
factor should be located 87.9% of the way between the corresponding wind deductible factor and
the corresponding hurricane deductible factor.
Pages 2 through 4 of Exhibit 1, show the calculation of the provision for different types of wind
losses. The results derived in these pages are used in the calculation of the indicated tempering
factor shown in Page I. Page 2 shows information for non named storm catastrophes (such as a
winter storm), Page 3 shows information for non-hurricane named storm catastrophes (such as a
tropical storm), and Page 4 shows information for non-catastrophes. The wind loss provisions
are expressed as a ratio of wind losses to average total insured value ("TIV"). For catastrophe
wind losses (shown in Pages 2 and 3), we rely on historical experience over a 17-year period. 3
For non-catastrophe wind losses (shown in Page 4), we rely on historical experience over a 5-
year period.
The indicated tempering factor of 0.879 that is calculated in Exhibit I, Page I of this report for
Dwelling Property is almost the same as the corresponding tempering factor of 0.880 that was
calculated in the Homeowners deductible analysis that we prepared for the MPIUA. In the
Homeowners deductible analysis, we used the tempering factor to calculate implied named storm
deductible factors that were interpolated between !SO's wind deductible factors and !SO's
hurricane deductible factors. For Dwelling Property, we are unable to calculate interpolated
named storm deductible factors in the same way because ISO does not publish hurricane
deductible factors for Dwelling Property in Massachusetts.
3 Appendix A shows how historical loss experience for catastrophes was allocated betvreen wind and non~ wind causes of loss.
The results from Appendix A are referenced in Column (7) of Pages 2 and 3 of Exhibit l.
Section 3- Page 2

EXPLANATION OF EXHIBITS
Exhibit 2, Page 1 shows the implied tempering factors that can be used to calculate indicated
named storm deductible factors by interpolating between wind deductible factors and all-peril
deductible factors. These tempering factors are from Exhibit 2, Page 5 of the corresponding
Homeowners deductible analysis. Given the similarity in the MPIUA's experience between
Homeowners and Dwelling Property (as illustrated by the results derived in Exhibit !of the two
reports), we believe it is reasonable to rely on the Homeowners tempering factors in the
Dwelling Property deductible analysis.
Exhibit 2, Page 2 shows the MPIUA's currently approved wind percentage deductible factors for
Dwelling Property (for Extended Coverage).
Exhibit 2, Page 3 shows the MPIUA's currently approved all-peril deductible factors for
Dwelling Property (for Extended Coverage).
In Exhibit 2, Page 4 we calculate indicated named storm deductible factors for the MPIUA that
are interpolated between the MPIUA's wind deductible factors (shown in Page 2) and the
MPIUA's all-peril deductible factors (shown in Page 3). The interpolation calculations in Page 4
use the interpolation factors that are shown in Page I. Page 4 shows the named storm percentage
deductible factors that the MPIUA is proposing to use.
Exhibit 2, Page 5 shows the percent increase in premium to convert from the MPIUA's current
wind percent deductible factors to the MPIUA's proposed named storm percent deductible
factors.

The total of all loss payable under Section I of th1s policy is subjeet to a special higher deductible when
windstorm or hail directly or indirectly causes damage to property.
The total of all loss payable under Section I of this policy is subject to a special higher deductible when a
Named Storm, as the term is defined within the Named Strom Percentage Deductible endorsement directly
or indirectly causes damage to property.
You have received a premium credit for this higher windstorm or haii Named Storm deductible. For this
credit, you will be responsible for the portion of any windstorm or hail loss caused directly or indirectly by a
Named Storm , which is less than or equal to your 'Nindstorm or haiiNamed Storm deductible.
The actual dollar amount of the windstorm or haiiNamed Storm deductible as well as the windstorm or
haHNamed Storm deductible as a percentage of the Coverage A limit can be found in the DEDUCTIBLE
section of your Policy Declarations. The actual dollar amount of the windstorm Named Storm deductible is
determined by multiplying the percentage deductible amount by the Coverage A limit as indicated on your
Policy Declarations. If your Coverage A limit changes for any reason, whether by MPIUA's action or at your
request, this windstorm or haiiNamed Storm deductible amount will also change. The windstorm or hail
deductible amount is subtracted from the total of the loss caused by windstorm or hail Named Storm.
Example 1:
Assume the percentage amount is 2% and a Coverage A limit of liability of $200,000. You would
be responsible for the first $4,000 of all loss payable under Section I of your policy, caused directly
or indirectly by windstorm or hail (2% of $200,000 is equal to $4,000) .
This deductible is then applied to the total of the loss for all Section I Property Coverages (except
losses payable under Coverage D) .
118
Example 2:
Assume the percentage amount is 2% and a Coverage A limit of liability of $200,000. You would
be responsible for the first $4,000 of any loss, caused directly or indirectly by windstorm or hail_g
Named Storm, to property coverage under Section I of your policy. (2% of $200,000 is equal to
$4,000).
This deductible is then applied to the total of the loss for all Section I Property Coverages.
- No payment will be paid for the loss since deductible amount exceeds the loss total.

If the Windstorm or Hail Named Storm Deductible is removed or reduced due to mitigation steps taken by the insured , the
premium credit used in the calculation of the policy premium will be based on the original higher Minimum Windstorm or Hail

Examj;!le
Assume that you have an All Perils Deductible of $500 with a Windstorm or Hail Named Storm Deductible of 5% and a
Coverage A (Building) Limit of Liability of $200,000 , you will be responsible for the first $10,000 of any loss payable under
Section I of your policy which is caused by windstorm or hail a Named Storm (5% of $200,000 equals $1 0,000). If, however, you
perform all of the required mitigation measures , your 11'/indstorm or Hail Named Storm Deductible would be reduced to your All
Perils Deductible of $500. Consequently, in the event of a Section I property coverage loss due to windstorm or hail a Named
Storm of $20,000, your loss payment will be increased from $10,000 to $19,500 due to the completion of all of the required
mitigation measures.
Additionally, your policy premium will reflect a credit based on the original higher VVindsterm or Hail Named Storm Deductible of
5%. Therefore, by performing all of the required mitigation measures, you not only get the benefit of a reduced Windstorm or
MaH Named Storm Deductible but also the benefit of a reduced premium .
Premium credits vary based on the coverage amount, the mitigation measures performed and the reduction of the deductible.

the calculation of the policy premium will be based on the original higher Minimum Named Storm Deductible that would have been
applicable to the policy.
Example
Assume that you have an All Perils Deductible of $500 with a Named Storm Deductible of 5% and a Coverage A (Building) Limit of
Liability of $200,000, you will be responsible for the first $10,000 of any loss payable to property covered under your policy which is
caused by Named Storm (5% of$200,000 equals $10,000). If, however, you perform all of the required mitigation measures your
deductible would be reduced to your All Perils Deductible of $500. Consequently, in the event of a property coverage loss due to
Named Storm of $20,000, your loss payment will be increased from $10,000 to $19,500 due to the completion of all of the required
mitigation measures.
Additionally, your policy premium will reflect a credit based on the original higher Named Storm Deductible of 5%. Therefore, by
performing all of the required mitigation measures, you not only get the benefit of a reduced Named Storm Deductible but also the
benefit of a reduced premium.
Premium credits vary based on the coverage amount, the mitigation measures performed and the reduction of the deductible.
Contact your Agent or Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association for further details.

Insureds the opportunity to remove or reduce their higher Named Storm Fixed-Dollar Deductible by performing
specific wind loss mitigation measures. Insureds who perform the approved mitigation measures will also receive the
benefit of the premium credit that would otherwise only apply to their policies with the higher deductible.
The measures identified below to protect your home from wind damage will remove or reduce your Minimum Named
Storm Fixed-Dollar Deductible, depending on the number and kinds of measures you complete.
148
Required Documentation:
Proof that these measures have been completed is required for the Named Storm deductible to be removed or reduced.
Proof may be obtained by the receipt of a signed statement from a qualified contractor or the policyholder certifying that these
measures are in place. A copy of the certificate must be submitted with the application or request for endorsement.
The reduction or removal of the Named Storm Deductible varies based on the initial Named Storm Deductible and the mitigation
efforts performed. These can be summarized in the following chart:
Pre-mitigation Post-mitigation
Named Storm Named Storm
Deductible Mitigation Steps Deductible
Any All All Perils Deductible
$5,000 Roof & Foundation $1,000
$2,000 All Perils Deductible
$1,000 All Perils Deductible
$5,000 Roof Only $1,000
$2,000 $500
$1,000 All Perils Deductible
$5,000 All Windows & $1,000
$2,000 All Glass Doors $500
$1,000 All Perils Deductible
If the Named Storm Deductible is removed or reduced due to mitigation steps taken by the insured, the premium credit used in
the calculation of the policy premium will be based on the original higher Minimum Named Storm Deductible that would have been
applicable to the policy.
Example
Assume that you have an All Perils Deductible of $500 with a Named Storm Deductible of $5,000 and a Coverage A (Building) Limit
of Liability of $200,000, you will be responsible for the first $5,000 of any loss payable to property covered under your policy which is
caused by Name Storm. If, however, you perform_all of the required mitigation measures. your Named Storm Deductible would be
reduced to your All Perils Deductible of $500. Consequently, in the event of a property coverage loss due to a Named Storm of
$20,000, your loss payment will be increased from $15,000 to $19,500 due to the completion of all of the required mitigation
measures.
Additionally, your policy premium will reflect a credit based on the original higher All Perils Deductible of $500 with a Deductible of
$5,000. Therefore by performing all of the required mitigation measures, you not only get the benefit of a reduced Named Storm
but also the benefit of a reduced premium.
Premium credits vary based on the coverage amount, the mitigation measures performed and the reduction of the deductible.
