Signature Risk Partners, a Toronto-based Managing General Agent specializing in custom commercial insurance, launched a new artificial intelligence-powered Weather Alert Tool aimed at helping clients mitigate damage from severe weather events.
The company introduced the tool on April 22, citing growing climate-related risks and a need for real-time information delivery.
The tool uses a proprietary AI agent to monitor Environment Canada’s real-time weather alerts. When a warning is issued, the service delivers customized notifications to Signature’s commercial insurance customers, enabling prompt preparation and response to events such as storms, wildfires, floods, and other extreme conditions.
Designed to support risk management efforts for businesses across Canada, the service targets clients in sectors such as golf and country clubs, wineries, campgrounds, and city, social, and athletic clubs. It aims to minimize disruption and loss by providing critical weather data quickly and efficiently.
“Our new Weather Alert Tool reflects Signature Risk’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that help our clients stay ahead of risks,” James Grant, president & CEO of Signature Risk Partners Inc., said.
“With severe weather events becoming more frequent, our AI-powered service ensures businesses receive critical information in real time, allowing them to act swiftly and protect what matters most.”
The Weather Alert Tool offers continuous monitoring of Environment Canada data, sending alerts through email or SMS based on each customer’s location and operations. The notifications include actionable insights to help clients take immediate safety and operational measures.
Among the key functions is guidance on how to respond effectively to weather threats, such as securing assets.
The company stated that the tool is available to all Signature Risk commercial insurance clients at no additional charge. This offering underscores the firm’s commitment to value-added service through technological innovation.
