Catastrophe codes

Codes can be allocated to a single loss occurring on a specified date or to a single loss incurred over a number of days. In these instances, the code is allocated based upon the year the accident occurred, followed by an alphabet suffix. A loss attributable to a common cause which occurs over a period of time and is not date specific is assigned a code which may be prefixed by * or !.

The codes are not intended to bind underwriters or their reinsurers, but are merely to assist underwriters in identifying the various interests involved.
