Aon Global Rapid Response

In the face of a catastrophic property loss, senior executives must act quickly to implement emergency response plans to stabilize income streams and protect business assets and operations.

Aon Global Rapid Response aids companies in their mitigation efforts by deploying experts directly to the impacted location, offering clear and concise loss mitigation guidance. Our team of professionals includes loss mitigation consultants, remediation experts, risk engineers, forensic accountants, construction estimators and security experts, strategically located around the world.

Pre-Loss Assessments

An Aon Global Rapid Response coordinator partners with your risk team to understand the complexities of your business structure. We develop an integrated organizational chart that considers your existing emergency response plan to ensure a seamless response. By clarifying roles and responsibilities before an event, we help reduce redundancy and inefficient use of resources should an actual loss occur.

During the pre-loss review phase, Aon Global Rapid Response experts will review and analyze your statement of values and property policy. We then upload your firm’s location information into our global database and track all natural disasters (tornado, flood, hurricanes, etc.). If a disaster is predicted or occurs, these same experts will provide you with updates of pending threats to your properties.
