Description
Real-time monitoring of rainfall through rain gauges enables operations personnel to be alerted about potential flooding or sewer overflow situations. By closely tracking and evaluating precipitation levels at various sites, it becomes possible to estimate rainfall in areas that are not directly monitored, a method known as the “Distributed Rainfall Modelling Technique” (DRMT). The integration of rainfall radar data with readings from rain gauges facilitates the creation of enhanced rainfall coverage maps. Furthermore, examining historical rainfall data helps in constructing rainfall intensity-duration curves, which can be compared to the design intensity-duration-frequency curves of the region, aiding in the identification of return periods for recorded events through forensic analysis. In addition, new intensity-duration-frequency curves can be generated to inform the design of drainage infrastructure, including sewers, channels, and storage facilities. Continuous flow monitoring, coupled with data analysis, contributes to the development of rainfall versus stormwater runoff response curves, which are essential for calibrating drainage system models effectively. This comprehensive approach ensures that urban planning and flood management strategies are well-informed and responsive to actual conditions.
Description
Benchmark offers timely natural hazard analysis reports for weather-related events, detailing property-specific loss dates and historical data pertaining to hail, wind, and lightning, all accessible through Verisk platforms like Xactimate and XactAnalysis. Both existing and new users are able to find the Benchmark integration within their claims on XactAnalysis, as well as in the “documents” section of Xactimate. Users can conveniently retrieve the reports by utilizing the “select an action” drop-down menu in XactAnalysis when handling claim assignments. The source of Benchmark's data for both XactAnalysis and Xactimate is Respond™, which equips users with near real-time analysis and forecasting services for weather events, including localized assessments for various natural hazards such as hail, wind, lightning, tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes, and more. Additionally, the Benchmark database on property-specific natural hazard history offers a thorough and reliable record of both catastrophic and non-catastrophic events, encompassing hail, wind, rain, and lightning, thus providing essential information for effective decision-making. This comprehensive resource ensures that users have the latest and most accurate data at their fingertips for better risk management and response planning.
