Usually yes for the liability, and often no for the cancellation. Event liability can commonly be bound close to the date, sometimes the same day, which is what most venues are asking for. Cancellation coverage is different. It is priced against risks that have not yet materialised, so carriers restrict or decline it once a named storm, a strike, or a public health order is already foreseeable. If the date matters financially, arrange the cancellation cover when you sign the venue contract, not when the forecast turns.
