A Sophisticated Solution for Municipal Pool Executives

Our Intention:Is to provide Municipal Pools with the necessary data, comprised of compelling evidence, which can then be used to demonstrate a decrease in overall exposure lowering rates.

Property Rate Relief

Flood coverage is one of the most expensive components of your property program. By using sophisticated
MAPPING techniques, an insured can demonstrate to INSURERS that a given property may not be exposed to flood
even though FEMA says it is in a flood zone.

Our mapping provides three layers of data such as:

1. Elevation of a Specific Property by Address
2. Type of Property – i.e., a park near a river with little exposure
3. Values at Those Addresses

Leverage Data to Decrease Overall Rate

Of course the insurer must be persuaded that exposures are less than broad FEMA zones suggest and this is where
Alexander J. Wayne & Associates comes in armed with compelling visual evidence.

Our mapping program was developed in cooperation with DePaul University and has already proven effective with
Underwriters who are at risk with a large municipal pool.

Happy Birthday John! As John celebrates his birthday with AJ Wayne, we’ve asked him to reflect: “This is my 10th year working at AJ Wayne and that is the longest I have worked at any company. One of the reasons for that is I have previously worked for larger companies where I felt like I was just a number. Here at AJ Wayne I feel appreciated for my ideas, suggestions, creativity and hard work. I also enjoy that no day is ever the same. Each day I’m presented with new challenges and situations and the opportunity to learn from some of the most knowledgeable professional liability brokers. Hopefully the next 10 years will be as enjoyable as these first 10 have been.”
