BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Extratropical Cyclone Niklas hits Europe hard

Insured losses from Extratropical Cyclone Niklas, which hit areas of Europe in late March, likely will range between €1.0 billion and €1.9 billion ($1.10 billion and $2.09 billion), according to catastrophe modeling firm AIR Worldwide Corp.

The majority of the losses occurred in Germany, AIR said Tuesday, while losses also occurred in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Yorn Tatge, managing director at AIR Worldwide GmbH in Munich, said that wind gust speeds recorded during the cyclone, which was at its most severe on March 31, were comparable to those seen during Windstorm Kyrill in 2007.
