Global Event Sets
Market-leading event sets offering global flood loss insights, helping you assess exposure, simulate extreme events, and prepare for a range of scenarios.
SOPHISTICATED METHODS FOR A GLOBAL VIEW
The Global Flood Event Set is a cornerstone of our flood models providing a market-leading catalogue of simulated flood events on an global scale.
Consisting of over 15 million events and utilising a unique combination of sophisticated statistical and physical modelling methods, it considers the influence of tropical cyclone, extreme precipitation and/or river discharge activity, with flood severity given across more than 90,000 precipitation locations and 146,000 river locations.
Events can be defined according to various hourly clauses for analysis against specific reinsurance contract terms, with events going beyond the historical observed record to represent physically-feasible events that may occur in the future.
Applications
Our event sets can be used by re/insurers to understand flood exposure at any location across the world, indicating where river (fluvial) and surface water (pluvial) flooding may occur in different regions and which locations may be affected at the same time. This enables better exposure assessment, portfolio management and stress testing.
Additionally, we have a dedicated UK Flood Event Set, with flood severity given across an even higher density of locations to represent inland and coastal flood. The density of modelled locations captures localised events contributing to attritional losses, with an average of 10.6 events per year.
We also have experience in developing bespoke event sets that couple flood with other simultaneous natural perils, such as windstorm, and our consultants can work with you to meet your individual needs.
Our event sets allow you to stress test your portfolio by selecting scenarios to perform ‘what if?’ analysis globally, build your own in-house catastrophe models and optimise your portfolio against correlated losses regionally.
Climate Change
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of flood events, creating heightened risks for communities and businesses worldwide. We understand how vital it is to consider these changes when assessing flood risk, which is why we incorporate the latest climate change insights into our global event sets. Future-proof your risk management decisions by leveraging comprehensive event data from leading experts in climate risk science.
