As March globally commemorates the annual International Women’s Day, this market briefing welcomes guest speakers highlighting females who are recognized experts in catastrophe risk. Our guests will discuss current cat related topics and what attracted them to this industry.

Description

Historical data relating to natural catastrophe has been recorded over the centuries and such chronicles can help assess information to estimate the future frequency of occurrence of events, or their expected annual impact.

However, times have changed and technical advancement has ensured that evolving cat models can help with risk assessment at granular levels across many important perils around the globe. Models can be used to quantify event frequency and severity through substantial event catalogs that include a wide range of events that we may have seen versions of in the past as well as events that we have not observed but that are plausible. The models are then able to layer on vulnerability modules to project damage and financial engines to assess insured losses.

At today’s event we welcome guest speakers who are recognized experts in catastrophe risk modelling. As March globally commemorates the annual International Women’s Day, we are highlighting females in this field.
