Catastrophe Modeling Overview

AIR Worldwide, a sister company of ISO, is the technological leader in catastrophe modeling.

AIR pioneered the development and application of probabilistic catastrophe modeling, which revolutionized the way insurers, reinsurers, and financial institutions manage their catastrophe risk. AIR's leading-edge models of global natural hazards form the basis of its software systems. Those systems can help you identify, quantify, and plan for the financial consequences of catastrophic events.

AIR's models cover all major natural hazards, including:

• hurricanes
• earthquakes
• winter storms
• tornadoes
• hailstorms

AIR has models for more than 50 countries throughout North America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

AIR also models man-made perils. The AIR Terrorism Loss Estimation Model can help you make pricing and underwriting decisions and meet the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.

AIRWeatherTM — the weather technology division of AIR — provides high-quality data and forecasts to companies in weather-sensitive industries. The technologies developed by the AIRWeather meteorologists and climate scientists give risk managers all the information they need to quantify and manage their weather-related risk.
