Highlights
The April, 2024 release of the Location Intelligence API adds updated versions Mexico Hurrican Storm, US Flood, and New Zealand MMI data products.
FEMA 2024 P1
FEMA Flood Zones, published by the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA), are the primary method that emergency planners and some insurers gauge flood risk. RMS has digitized these maps to enable side-by-side comparison of their outputs with much higher resolution flood analytics. This will enable insurers to identify the best business out of the National Flood Insurance Plan (NFIP).
Mexico Hurricane Storm Loss Cost 23.0
The Mexico Hurricane Loss Cost enables you to calculate pricing metrics for a location based upon its location and building attributes using version 23.0 of the North Atlantic Hurricane Model. The data product contains loss cost values that enable fine tuning of premium required to cover the technical cost of hurricanes in Mexico.
Mexico Hurricane Storm Risk Score 23.0
The Mexico Hurricane Risk Score enables you to calculate risk score metrics for a location based upon its location and building attributes using version 23.0 of the North Atlantic Hurricane Model. The data product contains pre-calculated risk score values that provide a score between 1-10 in the Mexican model domain.
New Zealand MMI 3.0
New Zealand Earthquake MMI data enables you to assess the Modified Mercalli Intensity, a subjective measure of earthquake intensity that ranges from 1 (not felt) to 12 (extreme risk), across an array of return periods. The data enables users to understand the implications of earthquake risk for locations in New Zealand using version 3.0 of the HD model.
US Flood Loss Cost 1.2
The US Flood Loss Cost enables you to calculate pricing metrics for a location based upon its location and building attributes using version 1.2 of the US Inland Flood HD Model. The data provides loss cost values that enable fine tuning of premium required to cover the technical cost of flood in the United States.
