Natural Catastrophe Modelling
Representation of natural phenomena
(severity, location, probability)
Calculate the consequences of these phenomena
Risk management (preparedness, mitigation)
Estimate loss potentials
Why do we use risk models?
6
Player in EQ Risk Modelling
EQ Risk Modelling is done by:
Consultants
(Re)Insurances
Brokers
Geol. surveys and public agencies
Scientific groups/universities
‘Science’ and
public
‘Insurance Business’

NatCat Risk Modelling for Insurance Business
Insurance business uses NatCat risk models since the 80th
Some examples:
- AIR since 1987
- Munich Re since 1987
- RMS since 1988
- EQECAT since 1994
- Benfield since 1999

EQ Risk Modelling
Why are university risk models only used for a very limited extend in
insurance business?
The methodology, resolution and parameters to be used vary with the
purpose of risk modelling (i.e. mortality, disaster management, risk
reduction, financial risk)
EQ models for insurances have a kind of standard which meets the
requirements of the business. Research projects are often designed for a
small area (i.e. one city), working on a high resolution and/or are focused
on a detailed problem:
High computational requirements (run-time, memory)
Results are often difficult to adapt for insurance purposes

Exposure: What is a “Risk Element”?
Building
Contents
Machinery & equipment
Construction sites
Consequential loss (Business interruption, Advanced loss of profit)
Vehicles, Life, Arts, Social events (Olympic games, rock concerts), etc
=> Much broader sense than in normally used in EQ Engineering
10
Average annual loss (AAL) => rating – site specific
Probable maximum loss (PML) => catastrophe potential - regional scale
An adequate Price and PML must reflect

In Principle two different types of contracts which require different
modelling methods:
Portfolio = large number of risks which are spatially distributed
Facultative = single risk (mainly large industry complexes or
buildings)

Modelling Earthquake Risk

Probabilistic modelling
What are the loss potentials I have to expect for my
portfolio?
How frequent do these losses occur?
31
Introduction to concepts of loss estimationProbabilistic modelling
Principle:
Generation of large synthetic event sets
(thousands to hundreds of thousands)
Assignment of occurence probabilities
Calculation of losses
Calculation of exceedence probabilities
Calculation of PML curve and technical rate
32
Event simulation is based on:
Measured events
Historic/ pre-historic events
Regional characteristics
Physical framework

CRESTA – An Insurance Standard
CRESTA was set up by the insurance industry
in 1977 as an independent organisation for
the technical management of natural hazard
coverage.
CRESTA's main tasks are:
Determining country-specific zones for the uniform and detailed reporting of
accumulation risk data relating to natural hazards and creating corresponding
zonal maps for each country
Drawing up standardised accumulation risk-recording forms for each country
Working out a uniform format for the processing and electronic transfer of
accumulation risk data between insurance and reinsurance companies

Uncertainties in Risk Modelling
Event (location, size)
Intensity (attenuation, directivity)
Local influence (amplification, frequency)
Risk information (building quality, location)
Vulnerability (average damage, distribution)
Loss (estimation of values, demand surge)
39
Uncertainties in Risk Modelling
There is a general tendency in modelling to increase the
resolution and the number of parameters:
Does this really increase the quality of the models?

Hazard Maps
As a rule of Thumb (only for earthquakes):If the return period for one Intensity is known, a factor of 3-4 can be used to assess the return period for other Intensities
48
Rate Calculation
Rate (%) = 1/Return Period(1) * Loss%(1) + 1/Return Period(2) * Loss
%(2) ... + 1/Return Period(n) * Loss%(n)

• Geographical distribution of the liabilities(Accumulation assessment zones)
• Risk classes (residential, commercial, industrial)
• Insured interests (building, contents, lop)
• Intensity field of the EQ-scenario
• Vulnerabilities
• Values
• Deductibles applied
