How we can help
Country-level risk analytics
Responsive analysis of flood risk for any country in the world based on openly available exposure data or client selected data. Informs project planning and further development in analysis of risk to people, economic activity and infrastructure.
Capacity building
Support and intelligence for global and local organisations and stakeholders to understand their risk landscape and the insight that catastrophe modelling and risk analysis tools can provide to inform their future plans. Flexibility to incorporate local data into existing models and tools to refine the estimation of risk.
Disaster risk finance
Our work supports the development of financial solutions that help governments and humanitarian agencies recover from disasters. We use advanced analytics and extensive knowledge of the insurance industry to inform financing systems that offer rapid payouts based on predefined triggers. This enables funds to be available promptly to support recovery efforts.
