Rising values and intensifying storms demand the most advanced risk modeling
The steady increase in the number and value of coastal properties raises the risk of catastrophic losses from hurricanes. Climate change and rising sea surface temperatures can also increase storm intensity, resulting in more significant damage and higher losses. Factors like varying construction quality and more widespread flooding can contribute to overall costs.
Make better risk assessment decisions
Improve underwriting, pricing, risk transfer, and risk mitigation decisions with robust modeling tools.
Estimate realistic, location-level wind speeds and flood depths
Achieve better risk modeling with the latest research on wind fields and high-resolution data on elevation, topography, and land use/land cover.
Account for differences in regional vulnerability
Understand how evolving building codes, construction practices, and age of housing stock can impact your risk.
Assess damage for each related sub-peril
Gain a comprehensive understanding of potential losses by estimating damage from wind, precipitation-induced flooding, and storm surge.
Features and capabilities
Coastal and precipitation-induced flooding
Our tropical cyclone models for the US and Japan provide a unified view of flood risk from all sources, including coastal flooding and hurricane-induced precipitation.
Accounting for variations in vulnerability
Buildings can be categorized by construction, occupancy, age and height, plus other characteristics, to enable more precise loss estimation.
Industry exposure databases
These datasets contain counts of all insurable properties and their respective replacement values for a given country, filling any information gaps in your portfolio.
