Lack of preparedness for hydrometeorological phenomena represents a daily cost of more than 25 million pesos for Mexican companies, according to data from the Mexican Association of Insurance Institutions (AMIS). Between 2012 and 2024, an average of P7,591 million was paid annually for claims related to storms, heavy rains, and floods, an increase of 91% compared to 2001-2012.
This panorama reflects the increasing operational and financial vulnerability of companies, especially during the hurricane season, which extends until November 30, according to the National Water Commission (Conagua).
Forecasts for 2025 indicate high hurricane activity, with the potential for 8 to 9 tropical storms, 4 or 5 Category 1 or 2 hurricanes, and up to 6 intense Category 3 or higher hurricanes.
Given this scenario, Eduardo Gutierrez, managing partner at Ecos, a consulting firm specializing in insurance and risk management, recommends strengthening three key pillars: adequate insurance, strong internal protocols, and pre-defined strategic alliances.
Regarding coverage, Gutierrez warns that having a policy does not guarantee adequate protection; “A comprehensive policy against hydrometeorological phenomena should take into account at least the following elements: coverage for hurricanes, storms, hail, landslides and floods; protection against interruption of activities or loss of income; damage to goods during transportation or used outside the factory; additional expenses for temporary transportation; debris removal and cleaning; and preferential claims care processes,” explains the specialist.
In addition, it recommends periodically reviewing insured values and updating asset locations.
Your storm response plan (ERP) should include five phases:
Annual planning.
Initial and final preparation.
Respond during the event.
Post recovery, including exercises.
Continuous updating of procedures.
Besides insurance, internal protocols play a key role in risk management. “It is very important that the protocols include secure communication channels, designation of responsible persons by region and mechanisms for documenting damages in order to facilitate management with insurance companies and reduce the impact on business continuity,” notes Alicia Martinez, Deputy Director of Damage, Auto and Bond at Equs.
