Abstract
This report details the design and implementation of an automated Alert System structured to support the Earthquake team at Descartes, an Insurtech company specializing in parametric insurance against natural disasters. The system was built to provide daily notifications of relevant earthquakes worldwide and automate the claims calculation process, i.e. the process of detecting and computing eventual losses caused by recent events. The project was initiated to address the need for efficient monitoring of global seismic activity, particularly in regions with high insurance exposure, and to streamline the labor-intensive and delay-prone process of claims assessment following an earthquake. The Alert System is structured as an end-to-end data project, encompassing data ingestion, parsing, processing, and visualization.
It is designed to run each morning as part of the data engineers’ Airflow DAG, ensuring that daily updates are consistently delivered to the team
