Rochester, N.Y. – October 27, 2026 -- Eagleview has responded to 17 severe weather events across 10 U.S. states since December 2025, as its Disaster Response Program (DRP) marks 25 years amid a sharp rise in billion-dollar climate disasters.

U.S. disaster counts run 2-3x above the long-term average

The U.S. recorded 28 major climate disasters in 2023, 17 in 2024 and 21 in 2025. NOAA puts the long-term average at roughly nine. Each of these events costs roughly $1 billion, and many, including forest fires, cost far more.

Even in years with fewer predicted weather events, organizations remain exposed to elevated risk from any single event.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – October 27, 2026 -- Eagleview's AI-powered Horizon platform completed portfolio-wide wildfire damage assessments in minutes that previously took weeks, the company said at its Property Claims Leadership Forum in Half Moon Bay, where it also released a white paper on AI-driven underwriting and claims.

Catastrophe frequency has more than doubled the long-term average

The U.S. averaged 23 weather and climate disasters per year over the past five years, each costing more than $1 billion in claims, according to NOAA. The long-term average is about nine. Global insured catastrophe losses reached $107 billion in 2025, per Swiss Re, and have risen 5-7% a year in real terms over the long run. Wildfires, storms and floods accounted for a record 92% of the 2025 total, and wildfire is the fastest-growing risk, with insured losses climbing an estimated 12% a year.

United States – October 27, 2026 -- Eagleview's aerial-derived property data now runs in more than 500 live integrations, with developers using it for online quoting, lead enrichment and pre-inspection tools across roofing, solar, building materials and property & casualty insurance.

A single address lookup or API call can return roof geometry, pitch and area, material type, condition score, age estimate, solar panel presence, structural characteristics, and risk scores for hazards such as hail and wildfire.

Aletheia Digital's QuickQuote for Roofs reports 26% bid-to-close rate for one contractor

Aletheia Digital built QuickQuote for Roofs on Eagleview data to give homeowners instant, data-backed roof estimates online. It replaces generic square-footage assumptions, which produce quotes that fail once a field team inspects the property.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – October 27, 2026 -- Eagleview told emergency managers that a below-average 2026 Atlantic hurricane season does not mean low risk, pointing to 1992, when six named storms still produced Hurricane Andrew and $27.3 billion in damage. The geospatial intelligence (GeoAI) provider issued a preparedness briefing after NOAA, Colorado State University and AccuWeather all projected a below-average season.

Andrew destroyed more than 63,000 homes in one of the quietest seasons on record

The 1992 season's six named storms compare with a 30-year average of 14.4. Andrew, a Category 5 storm, destroyed more than 63,000 homes in South Florida. Eagleview puts the damage at about $67 billion in 2026 dollars.

Robert Locke, President of Eagleview's Government business unit, said, "It only takes one storm to create a catastrophe." He added that the agencies responding best are those that prepared before the first advisory.

European Union – October 27, 2026 -- The EU will switch to T+1 settlement on 11 October 2027, and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) says the regulatory framework is now complete. ESMA is calling on market participants to finalise technical preparations, assess readiness across their entire ecosystems and start testing across the trading and settlement chain as soon as possible.

First compliance deadline for allocations and confirmations falls on 7 December 2026

Investment firms and their clients must comply with the new allocation and confirmation requirements from 7 December 2026. From that date, the amended RTS on Settlement Discipline makes two things mandatory:

- electronic, standardised communication channels and international messaging standards;
- machine-readable communication methods, except during temporary technical disruptions.

European Union – October 27, 2026 -- National authorities across the European Economic Area (EEA) imposed more than 950 administrative sanctions and measures in 2025, with administrative fines totaling almost €82 million, according to the third Sanctions Report from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

The number of sanctions and measures was stable compared with the past two years. The report also records an increased use of settlements.

Market abuse and MiFID breaches dominate enforcement activity

As in previous years, enforcement focused mainly on breaches of the Market Abuse Regulation and the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and Regulation.

Germany, France and Spain account for two thirds of fine value

Enforcement remained concentrated in a small number of jurisdictions. Germany, France and Spain together accounted for two thirds of the total value of administrative fines across the EEA.

European Union – October 27, 2026 -- The number of retail clients receiving cross-border investment services in the EU/EEA rose 47% in 2025 from 2024 to about 15.5 million, according to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

That is almost twice the 2023 level. ESMA compiled the annual analysis with national competent authorities (NCAs), using data from investment firms across 30 jurisdictions.

Firm numbers rise 2% while client numbers surge

A total of 379 financial firms provided cross-border services to retail clients. That is 2% more than in 2024, so the client increase far outpaced firm growth.

Complaints stayed stable, down 0.2% from 2024.

Cyprus hosts 20% of passporting firms

Cyprus remained the main base for firms providing cross-border investment services in the EU/EEA, with 20% of passporting firms. Luxembourg followed with 14% and Germany with 12%.

Global – October 27, 2026 -- Snowflake's sales finance team has cut its monthly forecast and variance analysis from more than a week to a few hours. It did so by giving its CoCo AI standing context about company data, terminology and workflows.

Profile cuts steps per answer from 3.0 to 1.3

Across 44 finance users, those with a 'GTM Finance' profile reached an answer in about 1.3 steps, against about 3 steps for those without one (Snowflake internal CoCo usage, February to May 2026). Without the profile, the AI spent roughly three steps per session finding the right data source and resolving terminology.

Each extra step adds about 0.05 credits, roughly 10 cents at US$2 per credit. A five-step session therefore costs about three and a half times a one-step session. At every step count in the data, sessions with the profile cost less than those without.

North America – October 27, 2026 -- Snowflake's product data science team cut the time from pipeline incident to a tested, reviewable fix to under 16 minutes using its CoCo agentic AI assistant. Before CoCo, diagnosis took a skilled engineer about 30 minutes per case. The result comes from a four-part framework that Snowflake built to measure AI value beyond license counts and prompt volumes.

Snowflake sorts AI work into three levels instead of counting prompts

Dashboards built on access and activity score an organization running 1,000 explanations the same as one running 1,000 pipeline builds and anomaly investigations. Snowflake's framework separates foundational work (explaining code, answering questions), applied development (writing code, exploring data, building reports) and agentic work (multistep processes where AI uses tools to finish an outcome). Real capacity gains should appear in the agentic tier.
