Discover the Difference Geocoding Can Make

To truly understand the impact of premium international geocoding let’s compare properties in the Passau area of Germany with postal code-level location information (left) and with premium high-resolution geocoding (Right). The intersection of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers was one of the worst-hit areas during the widespread flooding that became the costliest natural catastrophe of 2013, when floodwaters hit their highest level since 1501. The significance of the granular location-level data becomes clearer when we overlay the 100-year flood depth hazard layer from the AIR Inland Flood Model for Central Europe.

Leverage Custom Vulnerability to Reflect Your View of Risk

Do you need a more nuanced view of how risks should behave at varying intensities? Touchstone now supports the ability for your organization to import customized vulnerability functions to better reflect your own view of risk. Leveraging the seamless integration with Model Builder, you can import your own custom-defined damage functions.

Distinguish Yourself from the Competition

Whether you are looking to reflect a different loss experience specific to a coverage or sub-peril, or account for additional assumptions, the custom vulnerability functionality can be implemented to integrate alternative views of risk. The custom vulnerabilities you input will be used in place of the corresponding AIR vulnerability functions for the specific construction and occupancy you want impacted.
