Central and South America MMI 22.0
The Central and South America 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 all countries within the model domain including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Belize, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama
China MMI 22.0
China 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 China using version 22.0 of the model.
Europe Windstorm Loss Cost 1.0
The Europe Windstorm Loss Cost enables you to calculate pricing metrics for a location based upon its location and building attributes using version 1.0 of the EUWS HD Model. The data product contains loss cost values that enable fine tuning of premium required to cover the technical cost of windstorms covering the full model domain, including: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.
Europe Windstorm Risk Score 1.0
The Europe Windstorm Risk Score enables you to calculate risk score metrics for a location based upon its location and building attributes using version 1.0 of the EUWS HD Model.

Geocoding
Geocoding is the process of estimating the global coordinates (latitude and longitude) of a location based on its street address, city, postal code, or other address information. Geocoding software evaluates the address information for completeness and quality using specialized pattern matching algorithms, heuristics, and geographic databases.
This release introduces version 23 of the geocoding engine:
Geocode Address 23.0 geocodes a location based on attributes specified in the request body using version 23 of the geocoding engine.
Geocode Lookups
Geocode lookups enable you to access reference data at different resolution levels so that you can identify location exposures with greater accuracy and provide the geocoding engine with higher quality reference data. Generally, this data is provided in the form of geographic identifier values that identify a location at a particular resolution level.
This release introduces version 23 of the each geocode lookup data product:
admin1 23.0 looks up admin1-level reference data using version 23.0 of the geocode lookup data product.
