Catastrophe and Risk Solutions

Strikes, Riots, and Civil Commotion (SRCC) Risk Model

Discover the industry’s first probabilistic Strikes, Riots, and Civil Commotion (SRCC) predictive model for the United States—an award-winning new benchmark for political violence risk modeling.

Discover the first SRCC catastrophe model to quantify risk

The Verisk SRCC Model for the U.S. supports pricing, underwriting, capital, and risk decisions while identifying growth opportunities. It’s built on Verisk’s global expertise in SRCC, spanning political science, data science, and machine learning to assess risk, and through our probabilistic modeling frameworks, quantify metrics such as average annual loss (AAL) and exceedance probabilities.

Confidently price and reinsure SRCC risk

The SRCC probabilistic model delivers a dollar-loss output, allowing for direct input into pricing and capital modeling — and more informed insurance and reinsurance decisions.

Improve your SRCC underwriting strategy

The SRCC probabilistic model highlights areas of highest risk to help you improve underwriting strategy, match risk appropriately with premium, and identify growth areas.

Plan for the plausible

You can assess tail risk more accurately through a catalog of inherently plausible stochastic events that are far more severe than any historical occurrences.

Prepare for regulatory stress testing

Our SRCC probabilistic model can help you spot potential vulnerabilities and fulfill your risk management regulatory requirements under extreme disaster scenarios—especially given recent regulatory focus.

Features and capabilities

With global SRCC losses exceeding $10B since 2017, what’s in the model to help you understand, price, and manage this major risk?

First fully probabilistic SRCC cat model

Our 500,000-year stochastic event catalog moves SRCC risk analysis beyond qualitative judgment to deliver rigorous modeling of SRCC risk with measurable insights you can trust.

ZIP code-level granularity

Our ZIP-level loss estimates for physical damage caused by fire, looting, and vandalism—plus associated business interruption—support more accurate underwriting, pricing, and exposure management.

Scenarios beyond historical data

Relying on historical data alone isn’t enough; our SRCC probabilistic model uses advanced simulations and the latest data science to represent extreme but plausible events beyond historical records.

Direct comparison with natural catastrophe perils

Producing industry-standard catastrophe model outputs, the SRCC model allows insurers to assess riot risk and other potential political violence alongside natural perils within the same portfolio framework.

About Catastrophe Modeling

For rare but severe events, historical loss information is often unreliable in assessing future loss potential. That’s where catastrophe modeling comes in.
