SPATIAL DATABASE SYSTEM FOR GENERATION OF WEATHER EVENT AND RISK REPORTS
First Claim
1. A system for generating weather event reports comprising:
- a spatial database containing insurer portfolio data, including a point that graphically represents a portion of the insurer portfolio data, and the spatial database containing weather data including boundary information;
an impact analysis tool for determining the point that is affected by the weather data by locating the point that falls within the boundary information; and
a reporting engine for generating a report including mapped weather data and the point affected by the weather data.

Abstract
The present invention is a tool including a spatial database and a data warehouse used to track portfolio sites that are affected by weather events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, hail, tornados, or manmade events. A spatial database provides rich spatial geometry features using earth longitude and latitude as a 2-D reference system in spatial system. A insurer portfolio site, which is defined by longitude and latitude data, includes portions that are represented as a point. A weather event is represented as polygon in the spatial database. Based on user configured threshold values, it may be determined when a point falls inside, or on a boundary, of a polygon to identify a site that is affected by that weather event and corresponding reports may be generated, including maps identifying the affected sites and total insured value calculations for the affected sites, in order to gauge risk.

12. A method of generating integrated data reports comprising the steps of:
-
loading insurer portfolio data including geographic sites into a spatial database; feeding boundary data into the spatial database; using an impact tool to determine which of the geographic sites have been affected by the boundary data; and generating a report of the affected geographic sites and identifying risk areas based on the insurer portfolio data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
