Do You Know Your Caribbean Risk?
Discover how AIR’s recently enhanced and expanded Caribbean tropical cyclone and earthquake risk models can provide you with the best views of risk across 29 countries and territories in the region.
Risk Model Advancements for the Region
The past several years have reaffirmed the vulnerability of the Caribbean to tropical cyclones and earthquakes. Hurricanes Maria and Irma (2017), Hurricane Dorian (2019), and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti devastated the countries they impacted. And the January 2020 earthquake in Puerto Rico was a more recent reminder of Caribbean seismic risk.
Working with local experts, AIR has been able to make innovative advancements in modeling the region after observing firsthand the devastation left after significant hurricanes and earthquakes.
