Some reasons are given for paying special attention to the gross cost of catastrophe claims in planning and control. A method is then described of defining catastrophe claims and estimating their expected cost. The various steps in applying the method to real data and its performance for planning and control are discussed and illustrated in conjunction with an investigation carried out on a company portfolio.
