The coastline is moving: Is your model keeping up?
Storm surge remains one of the hardest perils to underwrite with confidence. In this webinar hosted with Ocean Ledger, who focus on the underlying coastal drivers of storm surge, and KatRisk, we explored how you can use up-to-date standardised, scalable data inputs alongside established models to reduce uncertainty and improve risk selection.
