Work With Multiple Industries

Vortex works with all types of businesses and associations. We provide rain insurance for a variety of outdoor events, seasonal attractions, and sporting events—just to name a few. We also offer Supplemental Hurricane Insurance for businesses along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Custom Policies for Nearly Any Request

Vortex offers weather insurance for ALL types of businesses and associations. We can create policies for longer-term needs, including full seasons. Through our PORTAL, you can create policies for your your clients in minutes, allowing them to take advantage of our current inventory of standardized products including hourly rain insurance for Fairs and Festivals, Golf – Shotgun, and Golf – Extended Hours. We also offer Supplemental Hurricane Insurance for either a 30-mile radius or 60-mile radius circle around your client’s business address. If your client’s needs lie outside the standardized products, please contact us directly for options. We can create a custom policy for nearly any request.

The Probability of A Weather Event

A combination of historical data, geography, season, and time of day help determine the likelihood of a weather event.

We utilize decades of data and meteorological insight to determine the probability of an event occurring. For example, from our data we can establish between June and August Seattle has a 4.7% chance of .25 inches of rain falling on any given day. For Chicago, during the same period, the probability is 14.9%.

As we move between El Nino and La Nina weather patterns, we understand how important a Supplemental Hurricane Insurance policy can be for businesses along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. With warmer than average sea surface temperatures this year, 2025 could be a very active hurricane season.

Benefits of Weather Index Insurance

A carefully crafted weather insurance policy can stabilize a business’ budget (revenues) during non-optimal periods of weather.

A business can reduce reputation risk during periods of extreme weather.

Quick and simple claim adjustments allow for payments TYPICALLY in less than 2 weeks, offering fast financial relief.

Customization allows the client to build a policy based on their specific risk and/or budget.

Fill uninsured gaps (business income, deductibles, etc.) and experience fast financial relief.

We love working with brokers!

Howard Danziger

City of Sanger, TX

I’ve had the pleasure of using Vortex Weather Insurance several times over the past few years, and I’ve been very impressed with their service. Luckily, I’ve only had to file one claim, but the process was seamless and fast. Once the rain amounts were verified, my check was issued immediately. I highly recommend Vortex for anyone looking for reliable and efficient weather insurance!

Donna Green, Director of Marketing & Civic Engagement

Roadway Productions

“After producing events for 20 years, I decided to purchase weather insurance for the very first time. My first experience was with Vortex, and I have to say it was simple, straight forward, and paid out the very first time! If it rains at your weather station more than the amount you buy, you get paid just like that! I had the check within a week and a half! I purchased another policy for the same event, and it rained again. Just that easy I was paid out the second time I ever purchased rain insurance. If you have any doubt, just contact me. I feel safer knowing that I can cover my bills from the event if it rains.”

French Smith

Summer Jam, LLC

Rainfall before or during any of our outdoor concerts is a significant financial risk which is why rain insurance is an important piece of our overall operating budget. Rain can discourage concert attendance, spoil concessions and create new operating expenses (clean up, grounds repair, etc.). For anyone organizing an outdoor event, we recommend considering Vortex to help protect your investment and potential revenue.

Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival

"I thought signing up for rain insurance would be a difficult process. The Vortex team made it easy; helping us determine days and levels of coverage. During the Arts in the Heart Festival weekend, dealing with all sorts of problems with 100,000 people walking through our gates, rain was not on my mind. I have worked with Vortex for two years and look forward to next year."

Brenda Durant, Executive Director

John Karedes, Executive Director of the DICK’S Sporting Goods Open

"The whole insurance process was incredibly simple and straightforward. The policy gave us peace of mind, knowing that if it did rain enough to impact the tournament, the financial loss will be manageable. That allowed us to focus on our main goal, which was to deliver a first class event experience for the golf fans of central New York."
