Typhoon Hagibis – CAT response services
Typhoon 19 (Hagibis) made landfall Saturday, October 12 devastating the east coast of Japan with reports of more than 36 inches of rain in 24 hours. According to local reports, Hagibis has caused at least 75 deaths, damaged more than 16,000 homes and led to 140 landslides — with the extreme likelihood of more to come. At least 10 people are still missing and more than 5,500 people remain evacuated. Sedgwick would like to ensure our clients know that we are here to help.

Sedgwick response
Sedgwick has set up a Catastrophe (CAT) response team in Japan. Stephen Hope, Head of Major and Complex Losses (MCL) for Asia, arrived in Japan on Friday 11 October to set up an operations center. He is joined by Robert Williams, MCL Technical Director for Asia. Together with Darren Livengood, Catastrophe Manager for Asia and Japan Country Manager, they are leading the response.
Sedgwick has also mobilized a large team of adjusters from around the region to assist and work with the local Japan team. Our adjusters have an average of 30 years of experience handling all types of residential and commercial claims, including large complex and catastrophic losses. The Japan team will liaise with clients in the local language and work seamlessly with the support team from abroad.
With the largest pool of resources in the industry, Sedgwick is prepared to respond to our customers’ claims handling needs.
