PRF INSURANCE 
IN HAWAII

PRF insurance protects ranchers from the financial impact of below-average rainfall, providing a crucial safety net in unpredictable climates like Hawaii.

Why PRF Insurance is Different in Hawaii

While the core benefits of PRF insurance remain the same—protecting against the financial impact of drought—the specifics of how it’s implemented in Hawaii differ from mainland programs. Here's how:

Smaller Grid Size: Hawaii uses smaller 5km x 5km grids for more precise rainfall data, compared to the 17-mile grids on the mainland.

Unique Data Sources: Hawaii relies on the Climate Data Portal for more accurate local precipitation tracking instead of NOAA data.

Grazing-Only Coverage: PRF in Hawaii is limited to grazing operations, ensuring coverage fits local ranchers' needs.

HOW DOES PRF INSURANCE WORK In Hawaii?

With PRF insurance, your grazing land is protected during dry periods. Here’s a quick overview:

Grid-Based Coverage: Your land is divided into smaller grids, allowing for precise coverage that matches Hawaii’s diverse microclimates.

Rainfall Triggers Indemnities: If rainfall in your specific grid falls below the historical average during your chosen coverage intervals, you receive an indemnity payment to offset your losses.

Customizable Options: Coverage can be customized based on your operation's needs, from selecting the right intervals to insuring the most productive grids.
