The final runs of the CCRIF tropical cyclone loss model for wind and storm surge have produced government losses for Nicaragua and Honduras. The government losses for Nicaragua and Honduras are below the Attachment Point of their respective Tropical Cyclone policies and therefore no payout under their respective policies is due.
This event briefing is designed to review the modelled losses due to wind, storm surge and excess rainfall calculated by CCRIF’s CWUIC model for a rainfall event that occurred between 9 and 11 June 2026 for affected CCRIF member water utilities. The Belize Water Services (BWS) was the only CCRIF water utility member for which the CCRIF CWUIC loss model for wind, storm surge and excess rainfall produced losses due to this rainfall event.
This event briefing describes the impact of rainfall on Honduras, which was associated with a Covered Area Rainfall Event (CARE) starting on 29 May and ending on 31 May 2026. The Rainfall Index Loss (RIL) for the Covered Area Rainfall Event was below the attachment point of Honduras’ Excess Rainfall policy, and therefore no payout is due to the Government of Honduras. This CARE did not activate the Wet Season Trigger1 or Localized Event Trigger endorsement of Honduras’ Excess Rainfall policy and therefore no payout under either of these endorsements is due.
