Manage uncertainty with high-quality earthquake modeling data
Confidently assess seismic risk even in regions with sparse historical data. Access comprehensive, current building exposure data that supports accurate underwriting decisions. When an earthquake strikes and claims surge, you'll have the loss estimates and portfolio insights needed to respond quickly, allocate resources efficiently, and serve policyholders when they need you most.
Reliably assess and manage seismic risk with proven earthquake models
Get the most comprehensive view of earthquake risk available to create more effective portfolio management strategies and make informed underwriting decisions. Our earthquake modeling platform delivers precise loss estimates and scenario analysis capabilities.
Capture regional vulnerability differences
Our earthquake models incorporate region-specific construction practices and building codes, damage surveys, and engineering research to create accurate representations of building stock variability and seismic performance.
Estimate potential damage and losses from tsunamis
The earthquake models simulate water propagation and inundation patterns to provide the most accurate view of this critical secondary loss driver in coastal regions.
Account for the impact of aftershocks
Although typically smaller than a mainshock, aftershocks can significantly increase losses by damaging structures already weakened by an earthquake. Our earthquake modeling approach captures this cascading risk.
Features and capabilities
Our earthquake models feature high-resolution hazard mapping, detailed vulnerability functions, and sophisticated loss estimation algorithms. Advanced earthquake modeling capabilities include stochastic event sets representing thousands of years of seismic activity, deterministic scenario analysis for specific fault ruptures, and real-time event response tools to provide rapid loss estimates immediately after an earthquake.
Probabilistic modeling and support for sub-perils
Probabilistic modeling approach and support for five earthquake-related sub-perils: fire following, tsunami, liquefaction, landslide, and sprinkler leakage
