Extreme weather events are becoming more common, with severe storms, floods, and prolonged precipitation affecting communities worldwide. These shifts in climate patterns pose a direct threat to the insurance industry, which faces growing exposure to weather-related damages. As claims linked to extreme weather rise, insurance companies need reliable tools to assess future risks. This is not only essential for setting premiums and maintaining solvency but also for supporting broader disaster preparedness and resilience efforts. In this study, we propose a two-step method to examine the impact of precipitation on home insurance claims. Our approach combines the predictive power of deep neural networks with the flexibility of copula-based multivariate analysis, enabling a more detailed understanding of how precipitation patterns relate to claim dynamics. We demonstrate this methodology through a case study of the Canadian Prairies, using data from 2002 to 2011.
