Independent accurate data at the point disaster strikes
eCityRisk’s response data enables reinsurers to observe – first hand – exposure at risk and study, in detail, damage to impacted contracts. Vital for both facultative insurance and treaty reinsurance, eCityRisk can provide niche data for a particular genre such as the impact of a disaster on oil refineries, or it can provide a bigger picture of damage to residential portfolios within an event footprint, for example, a flood boundary. eCityRisk’s real-world damage data will provide an accurate assessment of ground-up loss, or using its historical data a retrospective view of performance, supporting a range of different post-disaster loss estimation activities including:
- Estimating losses based on the performance of individual high-value facilities
- Quantifying the impact of an event on portfolios for different LOB
- Assessing losses to the IED/GED, a powerful tool for forecasting BI and demand surge
- Increasing confidence in estimated losses before issuing a public statement, by independently verifying modelled and claims-based figures
- Securing a ‘jump on the market’, to make better informed capital management or investment decisions
eCityRisk offers a wide range of data options and formats including:
- Disaster footprints (for example, flood boundary, storm surge inundation zone)
- Zonations by damage level (e.g. zip code)
- Images and interpreted damage states for individual facilities and addresses
- Google Earth, ESRI, MapInfo and industry standard formats supported.
