Extreme Event Risk
Catastrophe Risk Modeling Solutions
Both natural catastrophes (such as hurricanes) and man-made disasters (such as terrorism) can jeopardize the financial well-being of an otherwise stable, profitable company. Catastrophe modeling uses algorithms and software to plan for future emergencies.
We pioneered catastrophe modelling in 1987
For almost 40 years, Verisk has developed probabilistic models that help organisations prepare for the financial impacts of catastrophes—before they occur. Today, organisations use our models to assess the likelihood and severity of loss from catastrophes in more than 110 countries worldwide.
Risk models for almost any catastrophe
From earthquakes to terrorism, Verisk risk models can help you prepare for and recover from extreme events.
Quantified risk for tropical cyclones
A comprehensive view of your wind, rain, and storm surge risk in a near-present climate.
Severe thunderstorm risk models
Manage your severe thunderstorm risk with a complete view of risk of hail, straight-line winds, and tornadoes.
Reliable seismic risk assessment and management
Get the most advanced understanding of seismic hazard and building vulnerability.
Risk models for major floods
Quantify flood risk by accurately accounting for the complex variables that give rise to damaging floods.
Risk models for extratropical cyclones (winter storms)
Assess the risk from a single storm or a cluster, including the most extreme events.
Accurate estimates for extreme wildfire risk
Understand your exposure to extreme wildfire risk, including factors that drive fire ignition and spread.
Advanced probabilistic risk models for agriculture
Comprehensive analyses of historical yield, price, and loss data for crops, forests, and livestock.
Innovative science-based solutions for assessing climate risk
Models to help you prepare operational and strategic resilience initiatives that meet the needs of all stakeholders.
Hidden terrorism risks and exposure management
This model helps you estimate losses to support pricing and underwriting decisions down to the individual policy level.
Uncover risk for strikes, riots, and civil commotion (SRCC)
This model estimates losses related to damage and business interruption from fire, looting and vandalism.

Modeling Extreme Event Risk
Fortunately, extreme events are rare. But it is exactly their rarity that makes estimating losses from—and preparing for—future catastrophes so difficult.

About Catastrophe Modeling
In the case of rare but severe events, historical loss information is often unreliable in assessing future loss potential - that's where catastrophe modeling comes in.
