Product Need




Hail Storms and Tornadoes are becoming
very expensive to insurance companies
Carriers need a way to manage their
exposure to hail storms and tornadoes
Identifying areas prone to these events
is not enough; these are broad areas,
but individual storms actually impact
very small areas
Insurers need to understand where they
are most vulnerable

Historical Data


CDS Models based upon data from 1990-Present
Early years were underreported
• Visual sightings missed events in rural areas
• In early 90’s, Doppler radar became widespread
• Leads to much higher averages
The Bias is Larger with Hail

Policy Concentrations Matter
Too



We can definitely identify areas
susceptible to convective events
But that doesn’t take into account
the distribution of policies
Our new analysis does - It combines
the tornado/hail scores with
concentration analysis
CDS Tornado Model
Oklahoma
Let’s look specifically at Oklahoma
OK Policies Overlaid
We then overlay the policies
Policies Scored
We then ran the policies through the Tornado Model to score each policy.
You can see the shading of the points matches the Tornado Model
Oklahoma City Policies Scored
You can see that the scores for each policy match the tornado scores
Close up of Oklahoma City
Obviously, there are lots of policies here, with high
scores. But where is the largest concentration of
policies with high scores?
Aggregations
5 mile buffers were created around each policy. The sum total number of
“tornado points” around each policy was calculated. So a score of 5 gives 5
points, etc. So its not just counting the policies, its using the scores as well
Policies shaded by Total Points
You can now see the areas with the highest concentrations and
the highest tornado scores
Identifying the Highest Risk Areas
Highest Risk –
328 Policies
within 5 miles;
$41m TIV
The red policies are the 10 locations with the highest concentrations
within a 5 mile radius
Closer Zoom
Use this information to consider moratoriums
and to understand how much capital is at risk
Moratorium Example
3 mile buffer around the 10 policies with the highest number of
total points. Company could stop writing in this area.

Hail & tornado scores can be customized
(size of hail, state specific, etc.)
Any radius or multiple radii can be used

Conclusions




The CDS Convective Analysis offers a
new way to manage hail/tornado risk
CDS can identify the specific areas
most at risk
CDS can quantify the amount of TIV
within these areas
This gives insurers actionable
information to manage capacity and
exposure
