Through an ongoing field study and collaboration with our academic partners, IBHS collects unique data from hailstorms to help improve detection, forecasting, and modeling capabilities of hail.

This work will (1) allow for better prediction of the quantity and size of hailstones across a given storm area, (2) help improve loss prediction modeling, and (3) better inform claims adjusters about the type of damage to expect and where, which will help prevent fraudulent damage claims.
