Tropical Cyclone
Understand your wind, rain, and storm surge risk with Verisk tropical cyclone models.
As development of the world's coastlines continues to accelerate, organizations need robust tools that can help them manage their tropical cyclone risk. Verisk models enable better risk assessment to improve underwriting, pricing, risk transfer, and risk mitigation decisions.
Capture realistic, location-level wind speeds.
Verisk's tropical cyclone models incorporate the latest research on wind fields and high-resolution data on elevation, topography, and land use/land cover to estimate wind speeds at each affected location.
Account for differences in regional vulnerability.
A building's response to tropical storms varies significantly depending on its construction type, occupancy, and height. In addition, Verisk models account for regional differences in historical storm experience, building code evolution, and construction practices.

Assess damage for each related sub-peril.
Estimate damage from wind, precipitation-induced flooding, and storm surge using separate damage functions to achieve a comprehensive understanding of potential losses and to assess peril-specific policy conditions.
Evaluate the impacts of a changing climate.
An increase in sea surface temperatures that contribute to storm formation and strength, and rising sea levels that can exacerbate storm surge, can have a meaningful impact on damage.
Visualize your tropical cyclone risk with Catalog Viewer.
Understand how an approaching storm can impact your portfolio and focus on the areas that are most at risk. Catalog Viewer is a cloud-based analytics product that lets you select your own custom sets of similar stochastic events (SSEs) from Verisk’s extensive catalogs of stochastic tropical cyclones.
