Howden’s Data Centre Risk Map

PR Campaign
Tuesday 15th September, 2026

Howden published research mapping the risks created by the AI data-centre boom. It showed that severe-weather exposure is concentrated in just 20 US locations, while conflict-adjacent facilities and community noise disputes are also rising—turning a specialist insurance report into a timely warning about hidden systemic exposure.

Why it worked: It reframed a hot-growth story as a systemic-risk gap, backed by verifiable maps that reveal clustering individual policies miss.

The lesson: Consider mapping hidden aggregate exposure in a fast-growing niche and quantify the mismatch your industry’s standard models systematically overlook.

Where does the data come from?

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
