Formerly Moody’s RMS

Advanced science and data

Moody's RMS earthquake modeling integrates learnings from recent and historical events, the latest earthquake science, location-specific geologic conditions, and engineering research on building performance from around the world to deliver valuable earthquake risk insights.

Grow premiums

Select better risks with high-resolution probabilistic liquefaction modeling that allows for a better understanding of the location and severity of liquefaction risk.

Meet capital requirements

Extensive stochastic event sets to capture the full range of potential earthquakes to produce a comprehensive representation of events at key return periods including tail risk events.

Improve exposure management

Evaluate potential hot spots and drivers of risk in earthquake portfolios for effective risk differentiation strategies.

Model features

Moody's RMS earthquake models provide you with the information you need to understand, evaluate, and manage earthquake risk in regions around the world.

Region-specific insights

Gain deep understanding of regional differences, including tectonic settings, built environments, and market conditions.

Comprehensive solution

Assess the spectrum of potential earthquake losses with models that leverage computational power and data-driven approaches to reduce uncertainty.

Secondary perils

See the potential loss impacts of secondary perils such as liquefaction, landslide, fire following earthquake, and tsunami in our complete view of earthquake risk.

Local knowledge

Benefit from country-specific expertise with models built in close collaboration with on-the-ground scientific agencies, local engineers, and research bodies.

What makes Moody's RMS earthquake models different?

Scientific insight

Working with leading scientific agencies and partners, each Moody's RMS earthquake model incorporates the latest findings in earthquake research from institutions such as the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) and national bodies around the world.

Sub-perils

Accounting for the impact of sub-perils including tsunami and fire-following earthquake, where applicable, Moody's RMS models integrate sub-perils to allow their impact to be separately assessed. Liquefaction and landslide, complex secondary geohazards, are modelled to capture the potential for generating both widespread and highly localized losses.

Focus on ground motion

New innovations include advanced ground motion modeling that predicts the extent to which shaking attenuates from source to site and high-resolution ground motion amplification models that reflect the latest science; through to custom-built sedimentary basin models for areas with the greatest potential for large amplifications.

Latest events

Moody's RMS earthquake models incorporate learnings from the latest earthquake events, such as the 2010 Maule, Chile Earthquake, 2010-11 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence of events and 2016 Kaikoura in New Zealand, 2011 Tohoku in Japan and larger, significant U.S. events from the last thirty years such as 1994 Northridge and 1989 Loma Prieta.
