This document describes the key advantages of the AIR Winter Storm Model for Canada, which is designed to meet the unique risk management needs of companies exposed to wind, winter precipitation (snow, ice pellets, and freezing rain), and freezing temperatures resulting from winter storms impacting Canada.

This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Earthquake Model for Australia, where a vulnerable building stock and high insurance penetration make it essential for companies to have the tools necessary to appropriately assess and manage the country’s seismic risk. The model captures the risk from both ground shaking and liquefaction and provides an incomparable level of detail, enabling superior risk differentiation based on factors including seismic zonation, soil type, construction, occupancy, year built and height.

The AIR Inland Flood Model for Central Europe is the industry¹s first to account for intra-country correlation of flooding using a joined physical modeling domain. It explicitly models on- and off-floodplain losses in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Switzerland; accounts for flood defenses and supports custom flood defenses; features a component-based approach to damage estimation for commercial buildings; and supports the evaluation of reinsurance contracts incorporating a 504 hours clause.

This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Terrorism Model, which can be used for deterministic analyses on a specific concentration of exposures for the U.S. and 27 other select countries.

This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Multi-Peril Crop Insurance Model for Canada, which uses AIR's award-winning Agricultural Weather Index (AWI), a province- and crop-specific weather index used to assess the overall quality of the growing season.

This brochure provides an introduction to the AIR Pandemic Model, which estimates the global impact of nearly 1 million simulated pandemic events represented in 500,000-year stochastic catalogs. The model explicitly captures factors that affect the spread of infectious disease, including pathogen characteristics, population movement, and the availability and effectiveness of medical interventions across the globe. The model offers risk managers a robust and comprehensive understanding of potential morbidity, mortality, and insurance losses.

This brochure provides an overview of the AIR Severe Thunderstorm Model for Australia. The model captures the risk from all three sub-perils that contribute to property loss in Australia: hail, tornado, and straight-line wind.

This brochure provides an introduction to the AIR Tropical Cyclone Model for Mexico, which features a basinwide catalog of simulated events to enable companies to assess risk to portfolios that span Mexico, the Caribbean, the United States and even the Gulf of Mexico (offshore assets). The AIR model incorporates a high-resolution flood module to estimate the severity of precipitation-induced flooding, the probability of which can be exacerbated by Mexico's mountainous terrain. The model explicitly accounts for the complex teleconnections between the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Atlantic wind shear, appropriately reflecting the negative correlation between tropical storm genesis in the two basins.

This white paper examines how climate change affects the severity of extreme weather phenomena, and describes its implications for catastrophe modeling and the insurance industry.
