  Peril

    

    

Description

    

    

  Rain Total Accumulation

    

Rain Total Accumulation provides coverage if a certain amount of rain falls during the selected time period above a selected threshold. The level of rain selected should be based on how much rain would need to fall during the selected hours in order to negatively impact the event.

    

    

  Rain Free/Dry Hours

    

Rain Free/Dry Hours provides coverage when there is a desired amount of dry (i.e. rain free) hours.

For example, an insured may have a 10 hour window in which they need 4 hours to be dry. If it is not dry for at least 4 of those 10 hours then the policy would pay.

Snow Total Accumulation provides coverage if a certain amount of snow falls during the selected time period. The level of snow selected should be based on how much snow would need to fall during the selected hours in order to negatively impact the event.
