TPC at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans
Advancing Hurricane Preparedness and Claims Response on the Gulf Coast

Texas Piers Consulting proudly attended the National Hurricane Conference 2025 held in New Orleans, Louisiana. This important event gathers the best experts in disaster preparedness, emergency response, and insurance claims support. They all aim to improve outcomes before, during, and after major storms.
Our team, including leaders and operations managers, met with vendors, carriers, and local experts. They shared solutions to improve our response to hurricane-related disasters.
Why the National Hurricane Conference Matters to Claims Professionals
The Gulf Coast continues to face more intense and frequent storm seasons. Insurance companies and adjusters need dependable support systems. These systems should provide speed, consistency, and expertise when it matters most.
The conference focused on:
- Forecasting trends and storm modeling.
- Preparedness for Property and Business Owners.
- Preparedness for insurance and emergency managers.
- Lessons learned from recent CAT events.
- Enhancing claims cycle efficiency post-disaster.
For Texas Piers Consulting, this was the ideal place to show our work. We focus on forensic engineering, property damage assessments, and structural evaluations after hurricanes.
