Cyclone, Hurricane and Typhoon
Proactively manage wind, precipitation, and storm surge risk.
Quantifying Tropical Cyclone Risk
Tropical cyclones are a significant source of annual catastrophe risk globally. RMS cyclone, hurricane, and typhoon models help the market quantify this risk to inform sound underwriting, portfolio management, and risk transfer decisions.
Obtain a Robust Determination of Risk
Assess risk across the full spectrum of landfalling, bypassing, and transitioning storms. RMS models are informed by extensive stochastic event sets and landfall rates specific to each basin or region.
Utilize the Best Hazard Science
Select and manage risk utilizing the latest RMS hazard innovations. RMS models incorporate advanced wind and water modeling methodologies to generate realistic representations, variations, and correlations of tropical cyclone hazard within each region.
Advanced Insights Into Building Vulnerability
Differentiate risks within and across regions, sub-perils, building characteristics, and mitigation efforts. RMS models include hundreds of unique vulnerability functions informed by data, regional differences in building codes or construction, and insights from recent events.
