In the last five years alone, losses from flooding worldwide amounted to $320bn, of which roughly $56bn was insured. Yet many catastrophe models still rely on historical-based approaches that miss the mark in today’s rapidly changing climate. At KatRisk, we take a different approach. Our inland flood and storm surge models are built using advanced geophysical fluid dynamics and simulate 50,000 years of storm tracks—empowering you to truly own your view of flood risk. Why KatRisk’s flood model stands out:  🔷 Advanced hydraulic + hydrologic modeling – capturing pluvial and fluvial flood risks, including from tropical cyclone induced precipitation   🔷 High-speed loss analytics – faster performance lets you quote, quantify, and optimize in real-time   🔷 High-resolution data – with 10-meter resolution in the US, AUS, NZ, and up to 30m in the EU   🔷 Climate scenario integration – account for the impacts of El Niño, La Niña, and broader climate variability   🔷 Global peril correlation – represent interrelated risks across geographies and event types   🔷 Future-ready – seamlessly run climate change scenarios and meet evolving regulatory needs  If you’re looking for a more transparent, reliable, and climate-savvy way to assess flood risk—KatRisk is ready. ✉️contact@katrisk.com to learn more #FloodModeling #ClimateRisk #InsurTech #CatModeling #Reinsurance #RiskManagement #ClimateChange #FloodRisk #KatRisk

With $51B in global SCS-related losses recorded in 2024 and $71B in 2023, this peril is no longer flying under the radar. The stakes for insurers, reinsurers, and risk managers have never been higher. Industry Pain Points: Where Traditional Models Fall Short 📊 A poll during our recent webinar revealed what many already suspect: current SCS models don’t reflect loss experience well. Respondents overwhelmingly rated existing tools as underperforming. The reasons are clear: ❌ Data Gaps: Models relying heavily on SPC reports introduce population bias—overestimating risk in populated areas and underestimating it elsewhere. ❌ Synthetic Hail: Increased roof replacements—sometimes driven by fraudulent claims—aren’t adequately captured in outdated vulnerability curves. ❌ Resolution Limits: Many models stop at coarse grid resolutions or exclude smaller hazard events, missing the cumulative impact of lower-severity storms. That's why KatRisk set out to build a revolutionary SCS model that addresses these challenges head-on: ✅ High-Resolution Hazard Modeling – 100m for tornadoes, 1km for hail and straight-line wind – Captures localized peaks and accumulation risks with higher fidelity ✅ Vulnerability Grounded in Claims Data – Adjusts roof replacement values and hail sensitivity based on real-world loss experience ✅ Correlated Peril Modeling – Models overlapping perils (e.g., hail + tornado) and avoids double-counting ✅ Built for Scale – Simulates 2.5M years of tornado data for fine-resolution convergence – 3x faster model execution than industry average 🔗 Learn more about KatRisk's SCS Model https://lnkd.in/gP8HPJ8U

We’re proud to see KatRisk’s best-in-class flood modeling data supporting groundbreaking research on residential flood risk in Canada. A new paper, Economic Exposure of Canadian Residential Properties to Flooding, presents a novel approach to modeling flood risk across 9.8 million residential buildings in all 10 provinces—highlighting that 80% of the risk is concentrated in just 10% of exposed buildings. Congratulations to Mathieu Boudreault and the full research team on this important contribution to the future of flood risk management in Canada.

The insurance industry is evolving—faster, riskier, and more complex than ever before. As climate events intensify, the need for sharper, science-driven insights has never been more critical. At KatRisk, we're meeting this challenge head-on. Our unique approach blends scientific precision with real-world application, resulting in high-fidelity, probabilistic models that assess catastrophe risk across multiple perils—floods, severe convective storms, wildfires, and more. Our models are designed to directly support underwriting, claims handling, and overall risk management. It's how we help insurers stay ahead of what's next. As the landscape of risk continues to shift, the tools we use to understand it must evolve too. https://lnkd.in/gVVJd394 #KatRisk #insurtech #catmodeling #climaterisk #underwriting #riskmanagement

We're still on a high from last week's Insurtech Insights conference. KatRisk was proud to sponsor this year’s event and connect with so many leaders who are shaping the future of insurance. A highlight? Taking the stage at the Tech Showcase to demo how KatRisk is helping our clients sharpen their view of climate and catastrophe risk. From deeper insights to faster workflows, we’re focused on giving underwriters, risk managers, and exposure teams the tools they need to stay ahead. Big thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth, shared ideas, and asked smart questions—we love this community 🤝 Let’s keep the momentum going. If you missed us at the conference and want to see KatRisk in action, let’s connect! https://lnkd.in/g4tErrSf #InsurtechInsights #InsuranceInnovation #CatModeling #ClimateRisk #Underwriting #Reinsurance #KatRisk

The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles this January are yet another reminder of the urgent need for stronger disaster resilience policies. As climate-driven disasters—from wildfires to floods to extreme heat—become more frequent and severe, policymakers must take proactive steps to protect communities, businesses, and infrastructure. 💡 A recent article from The Pew Charitable Trusts highlights key themes shaping state-level disaster mitigation efforts, including: 1. Maximizing federal funding for resilience projects 2. Stabilizing insurance markets to ensure affordability 3. Leveraging data and modeling for risk reduction 4. Addressing public health threats linked to extreme weather 5. Using state resilience plans to drive long-term investments At KatRisk, we’ve seen firsthand how critical risk modeling is to informing better resilience strategies. Advanced catastrophe modeling enables more precise risk assessment, empowering government institutions and insurers to make informed, proactive decisions. KatRisk has worked and will continue to work with our partners in the state regulatory office to offer education and support on how catastrophe models play a key role. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eqn-GeuM #DisasterResilience #ClimateRisk #WildfireRisk #FloodRisk #RiskModeling #CatModeling
