Moody’s Risk Modeler Integrations

HurLoss represents ARA's advanced hurricane catastrophe model tailored for property insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and ILS managers to adeptly navigate risks in regions susceptible to hurricanes. Since its inception in 1998, HurLoss has served as the cornerstone for structural engineering standards in hurricane-affected states and has been integral to federal emergency management and mitigation strategies across the nation since 2003. The model provides a comprehensive event set that spans the entire North Atlantic basin, covering areas such as the U.S., the Caribbean, Bermuda, and portions of Canada, Mexico, and Central America. What sets HurLoss apart is its physics-driven approach to hurricane hazard modeling combined with engineering load and resistance analysis, grounded in fundamental principles and corroborated by claims data. Additionally, the model incorporates projections related to future climate conditions, enabling users to evaluate risks using both current and anticipated climatological data, including variables such as sea surface temperature and wind shear. This forward-thinking approach ensures that stakeholders are equipped with the most relevant information to make informed decisions regarding their hurricane risk management strategies.
