DATA CALL NOTICE: Hurricane Debby Catastrophe Reporting

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) provided notice to insurers to file a Simplified 2024 Catastrophe Reporting Form (CRF) through the Insurance Regulation Filing System (IRFS). Data must be provided in accordance with the deadline below.

OIR is instituting this data call for the purpose of collecting additional claims and other relevant information from insurers related to a natural disaster causing catastrophic damage in the state of Florida. This authority is mandated pursuant to section 624.307, Florida Statutes.

REPORTING DEADLINES FOR HURRICANE DEBBY

OIR is requiring simplified catastrophe reporting for Hurricane Debby beginning Friday, September 6. Reporting deadlines for Hurricane Debby:

  • Friday, September 6, 2024
  • Friday, September 13, 2024
  • Friday, September 20, 2024 
  • Friday, September 27, 2024

Data must be submitted by 12 p.m. ET for each reporting deadline.

OIR will notify insurers if additional reporting deadlines are required.

At this time, insurers must report using the Simplified 2024 CRF, which does not include the “Survey” tab within the CRF template.
