§ 2644.5. Catastrophe Adjustment.
In those insurance lines and coverages where catastrophes occur, the catastrophic losses of any one accident year in the recorded period are replaced by a loading based on a multi-year, long-term average of catastrophe claims. The number of years over which the average shall be calculated shall be at least 20 years for homeowners multiple peril fire, and at least 10 years for private passenger auto physical damage. Where the insurer does not have enough years of data, the insurer's data shall be supplemented by appropriate data. The catastrophe adjustment shall reflect any changes between the insurer's historical and prospective exposure to catastrophe due to a change in the mix of business. There shall be no catastrophe adjustment for private passenger auto liability.
