CAT Analytics
We provide CAT Analytics so you can make informed decisions.
Catastrophe Analytics
Catastrophe (CAT) Analytics uses a computer-assisted complex of algorithms to calculate the estimated losses that you could sustain due to a CAT event such as a hurricane or earthquake. In addition to loss probability, we infuse specific details, including the age, construction, and geographical landscape of your organization or business to formulate and evaluate your ultimate financial risk. We provide CAT Analytics so that you can make an informed decision about the limits, retention levels, and whether to retain, mitigate with loss control, or contractually transfer your risk through insurance.
CAT Analytics loss estimates assist with:
- Managing areas of high exposure to catastrophic loss
- Estimating consistent and reliable loss control for all locations
- Developing data to effectively negotiate property insurance terms and conditions
- Purchasing appropriate limits
- Demonstration of sound risk improvement practices
Don’t misinterpret return periods
- Hurricane Katrina was 1 in 20 year hurricane loss for the U.S. - inaccurate
- There is a 5% annual probability that a Katrina-sized hurricane loss could occur in the U.S. - Accurate
Perils that we model:
- Earthquakes
- Flood
- Storm Surge (Independent of or Included in Tropical Cyclone Mode)
- Terrorism
- Tropical Cyclone (Hurricanes or “Named” Windstorms)
- Wildfire
- Wind (Tornado, Hail, Straight-line Windstorms, etc.)
We can run CAT Analytics with varying policy terms to determine the appropriate limits, deductibles, and excess layers that will allow us to:
- Allocate pricing to individual locations
- Negotiate rates with insurance companies
- Negotiate required insurance limits with lenders
