In Focus

AIR is often asked where losses from extreme events fall on our exceedance probability (EP) curve. However, likening industry loss estimates to AIR’s published EP curve is not a valid comparison.

In a blog published earlier this year, I commented on the potential future effects of arctic amplification and noted that one of them would be an increase in wildfires.

Charles Darwin's voyage on H.M.S. Beagle is justly famous, but the subsequent achievements of that ship's captain, Robert Fitzroy, are not so well known.

Flood control methods are used throughout the world to prevent the detrimental effects of rising water levels. In the UK permanent man-made flood defenses are dominated by four types.

Climate change has long been a challenging issue—with potential climatological, ecological, and economics responses, among others. But insurance needs to have a response, too.

In March of this year the global operations of Norsk Hydro, a renewable energy company and one of the world's biggest aluminum producers, were disrupted after an apparent systemic infection from the ransomware LockerGoga.

Central banks are actively looking to take the lead in the propagation of knowledge, risk metrics, and recommendations on climate risk variability impacts on the wider financial industry.

Most coastal flooding in the UK is caused by extra-tropical cyclones (ETCs). The updated ETC model now incorporates storm surge and demonstrates more accurate event losses and a more certain view of risk.

Southern California was just rocked by two major earthquakes only 34 hours and ~7 miles (11 km) apart in the region between the Searles Valley and Ridgecrest.

Learn how AIR’s Model Builder™ simplifies the catastrophe model development process and makes it easy to implement your own view of risk.
