Intermap Technologies , a global leader in 3D geospatial data and intelligence solutions, announced Generali Romania is expanding its risk assessment capabilities by incorporating Intermap’s Aquarius RMA (“Aquarius”) flood risk solution into its core insurance processes.
Generali Romania leverages flood maps that are produced using Intermap’s high-resolution digital terrain models, hydrology data and comprehensive information from the National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management of Romania. The flood hazard maps cover more than 90,000km along rivers. It includes boundaries for 20-year, 100-year and 500-year flood extents, as well as maps of maximum flood depth for each of the periods.

This is an important step for making insurance coverage reflect the real-time flood risk as well as to help our clients through better risk counseling and prevention solutions,” said Ales Tausche, Chief Insurance Officer, Generali Romania.
