Can your tropical cyclone models keep up with expanding risk?
As coastal exposures grow, the potentially devastating impacts of a tropical cyclone make risk models increasingly critical to insurers managing catastrophe risk. The current condition of our climate and expectations for the near future point toward increased tropical cyclone risk and the potential for escalating damage and losses from more intense storms.
The next evolution in tropical cyclone modeling, only from Verisk
Sharpen your tropical cyclone risk assessment with greater clarity and confidence. This update brings together a unified near-present climate view, more realistic wind and event simulation, and expanded validation—so you can evaluate risk more clearly and make better underwriting, portfolio, and capital decisions.
Near-present climate views
A comprehensive catalog spans a continuum of sea surface temperature and ENSO states, enabling more flexible sensitivity analysis than ever before.
Breakthrough in wind modeling
A groundbreaking, peer-reviewed approach to wind field modeling represents 3-second gusts in more realistic patterns than ever before.
Next-generation storm surge modeling
Newly built on Delft3D with dynamic tides, updated terrain, and probabilistic defense failure, this sub-peril delivers more realistic coastal and inland flooding impacts.
Integrated flood modeling for tropical cyclones
All sources of water damage are covered through explicit modeling of inland precipitation in addition to coastal storm surge.
Data-driven validation you can trust
Leveraging more than $350 billion of industry losses and an additional $336 billion of location-level claims across diverse lines of business, this is the industry’s most extensively validated tropical cyclone model.
More realistic damage modeling
Progressive damage, wind duration, roof age, and building codes are incorporated at unprecedented granularity to improve loss estimation across an expanded variety of property types.
