Climate Today

InsTech hosted a webinar with PriceHubble and MIAC Analytics, highlighting how property-level climate risk modelling uncovers hidden subsidence vulnerabilities, reveals geographic patterns of emerging “uninsurable” zones, links rebuild costs to asset value erosion, and helps insurers strengthen underwriting, portfolio management and exposure assessment.

Hurricane season stays quiet (for now), Verisk warns of rising catastrophe losses, and ZestyAI bakes mitigation into storm scoring. Plus: new quake, flood and underwriting models, and a look back at Katrina and Plainfield’s F5 tornado.

Wildfire cover gets a way back in California, storm and wildfire losses drive a record-breaking first half, plus global floods, quakes and heat keep testing the models - and the markets.

Ahead of our 24 September webinar, a new PriceHubble–MIAC Analytics study reveals that property-level climate risk modelling uncovers hidden exposures with subsidence and rising rebuild costs emerging as critical challenges UK insurers can’t afford to overlook.

Fresh insights on hurricane season, urban flooding in New York, new parametric and reinsurance tools, and Garret Gray’s personal take on disaster response.

In collaboration with Floodbase, this article explores the growing flood insurance crisis facing U.S. municipalities, the innovative parametric insurance models designed to address it and how data platforms like Floodbase are closing the gap in municipal flood protection.

InsTech hosted a live webinar in collaboration with Verisk, Aviva, Guy Carpenter and Flood Re. The session introduced Verisk’s latest UK and Ireland inland flood model and reviewed issues such as assessing the risk for individual locations compared to portfolio-level analytics.

What do FEMA’s changes mean for insurers and homeowners? Plus, record-breaking flood losses in Australia, updated hurricane forecasts and new tools for modelling future climate risk.

In this episode, we speak with Todd Rissel, CEO and co-founder of e2Value, an independent company that has spent the last 25 years helping insurers and homeowners understand the real cost of rebuilding property, and the wider economic forces shaping those numbers.

Our latest edition brings a broader scope to Exponential Risk - now your monthly roundup of key developments in climate, catastrophe and property risk. This month, NOAA signals a shift in open-access data, wildfire losses surge and new tools emerge to tackle the rising cost of risk.

60+ companies, one mission. Plus, catch up on wildfire AI, risk gaps exposed by the Myanmar earthquake, and latest developments in flood, hail and storm modelling.

In this episode, Matthew Grant is joined by Sarah Russell, General Manager at Bellwether – a climate-focused moonshot from Google X – to explore why wildfires are the ideal proving ground for next-generation insurance analytics.
