In recent years, Latin America has witnessed a sharp escalation in costs associated with extreme weather events. In 2023 alone, according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL), losses in the region exceeded US$ 20 billion, directly impacting mining, logistics, energy, and financial operations.
Yet what few companies realize is that reaction time is as valuable as the insurance purchased or the asset protected. Every minute of delay can mean paralyzed logistics chains, dams at risk, millions in claims, or entire communities in emergency situations.
🚨 The New Paradigm: Acting Before the Crisis
Traditionally, companies and governments have operated under a reactive logic—only responding once the event has already occurred. The problem is that the climate has changed, and the intensity of extreme events no longer allows this luxury.
At Sipremo, we have been working on a different model: active prevention. Through Predictive Artificial Intelligence, we can reduce alert times to less than 5 minutes and provide dashboards that allow real-time monitoring of every stakeholder’s response.
This is not just technology — it is business continuity strategy, regulatory resilience, and value protection.

🔑 Practical Examples of Impact
- Mining (PAEBM): anticipating extreme events at tailings dams, ensuring structured activation of emergency plans.
- Ports & Logistics: reducing interruptions from storm surges and high winds that halt operations.
- Insurance: supporting underwriting and preventing claims, improving actuarial predictability.
- Financial Sector: integrating climate risks into stress tests and ESG models required by regulators.
- Energy: forecasting impacts on distribution networks and power plants during droughts or severe storms.
