Quantifying Hurricane Risk

Tropical cyclones, known regionally as hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, are a significant source of annual catastrophe risk globally. Moody's RMS hurricane modeling helps the market quantify risk to inform sound underwriting, portfolio management, and risk transfer decisions.  

Capture the Full Loss Potential

Assess risk across the full spectrum of landfalling, bypassing, and transitioning storms. Moody's RMS hurricane models are informed by extensive stochastic event sets and landfall rates specific to each basin or region.

Improve Risk Selection

Select and manage risk utilizing the latest Moody's RMS catastrophe modeling. Moody's RMS hurricane models incorporate advanced wind and water modeling methodologies to generate realistic representations, variations, and correlations of hurricane hazard within each region.

Better Risk Differentiation

Differentiate risks within and across regions, sub-perils, building characteristics, and mitigation efforts. At Moody's RMS, we model hurricane risk by including hundreds of unique vulnerability curves informed by localized hazard data, regional differences in building codes or construction, and insights from recent and historical events.
